No, it won’t. The reason is because you have the ability to turn a VPN on or off. While you’re on public WiFi, you turn it on. When you’re on your home network, you turn it off. It’s that simple! 🙂

Hmm…it’s possible, but I would double check that what you’re asking doesn’t break any laws that could get you in trouble.

You can read my review of IPVanish here if you want to get my thoughts 🙂

These are good questions, Gloria. Honestly, in your case, you likely don’t need a VPN unless you’re using public WiFi a lot with your cell phone, but even then it’s more of a backup security than actively blocking things.

I do banking and shopping online. I also do a few things online with my cell phone. Do I still need a VPN and does it help block things when I’m using the internet on my cell phone?

No, you wouldn’t Cliff. You might have to restart the app after you connect to the VPN, but Netflix immediately starts treating you like you’re in the country where you connect to the VPN server.
