No. VPNs are usually bad for security. You're routing your traffic directly through sketchy third parties.

LMAO! Is this a teen posting this?
OP, the only reason your teen is using a VPN is to either get around the school's network restrictions or your parental controls. Block VPNs on their phone NOW.
+1. Ask better followup question like, Where were they at, what were they doing that they needed faster internet long enough to require VPN? On a cell phone?

Nope no reason. Most of them dont work in MCPS anyways.
If he/she is using a free one, it is most certainly collecting data to sell. It's how the app makes money.

MCPS has blocked social media apps on their network this year. If your kid uses those a lot, that might be why.

I notice they use it during the school day last week - but was told it was for better signal. I am not buying that.
Any reason a MCPS student needs a VPN besides getting around MCPS firewalls and probably parent phone limits?
