1 year agoUsing a commercial VPN does not “hide” your data, it makes it available to a different party. Sometimes this is still useful, like when your ISP has a monoply and is overtly hostile to what you’re doing with your internet connection, or you just want a simple bypass for region blocking. But for a lot of people it’s lateral move or maybe even a downgrade considering the added latency and that many VPN services are also quite shady.
I’ve definitely used VLC to play DVD isos on PC, so there’s a pretty good chance it works on the android version too
