Bought it for the VPN. Have to allow most apps to bypass VPN to work. What is the point of that?!!!? - checked with support and they just said oh yeah, that's how it works and proceeded to tell me how to bypass VPN which I obviously already knew. Used EXPRESS VPN for 2 years with not a single issue and will be returning to it when this annual subscription expires. Do not subscribe to this to make use of VPN. Also, try using it on Chromebook - have to actually crank it up everytime I load it!!!!
