I also use TunnelBear. They give you 500MB each month free so it doesn't cost anything to try. And it's dead simple to use. Just fire it up, watch the little bear dig down and pop up in another place and then open your browser.
If I'm in Starbucks reading an online newspaper, I don't bother. But if I'm going to any website that requires a password, I use it. I'm not as security conscious as Ted but I know there are some bad actors out there and a VPN will help protect you.
