Probably not a great idea to run a private vpn. You aren’t hiding your ip. You are only acquiring a second ip, that is still your ip.

A private vpn is only good for punching through firewalls

The goal behind Amnezia is state censorship circumvention, it started as an activist project in Russia and target audience could care less about technicalities. This is something your slightly technical parents/friends can run to re-gain access to YouTube, Instagram or Telegram calls.

It's also useful if you use public wifi. Makes sure all your traffic is encrypted, and stops your IP changing constantly which can log you out of some services.
