Two-Thirds of Tech Workers Now Use a VPN, Survey Finds (9to5mac.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: According to a survey, 65% of U.S. tech sector workers now use a virtual private network (VPN) on either work devices, personal ones or both. While much of that usage will be because it's installed as standard on work devices, a growing number of people are choosing to use a VPN on their own devices in response to past and proposed legislative changes. The Wombat Security survey found that 41% of those surveyed use a VPN on their personal laptop, with 31% doing so on mobile devices.
Your answer should have been, "The very fact that you know I'm on a VPN proves why I need it". Had he not been trying to spy on your data he would never have known.
