VPN's are useful if you want to circumvent geographical content restrictions, or if you want secure access into a remote subnet. Businesses can use VPN to enable their secure remote access privileges for their employees. I'd guess that you really don't need a VPN service. Just make sure that the protocols you use are already encrypted with TLS. Maybe others here have different opinions?
