There are quite a few overlapping targets for VPNs:
- People that use Torrents
- People that travel (geo-restricted content, country level blocking of services/sites)
- Local firewalls that block things for no good reason.
- People that think a VPN keeps them safe from "bad guys".
I recently engaged in some infrastructure consulting work for a small startup(10 people). They're 100% distributed, no office, everything operates out of Google Drive, Docs, and Gmail.
One of the first questions they asked was if they need a VPN to keep their corporate communications and file transfers secure.
