    It depends. Some people upload with a VPN to secure the content being uploaded (sensitive data). It creates an airtight connection between both computers.

    Some people use a VPN to "mask" their IP address. For example, someone in Thailand can get a US based VPN server so they can technically use a US based IP address to watch Netflix.

    There are other uses. Here's a good explanation:

    A VPN tunnel is basically a virtual routing between one endpoint to other. these tunnels are constructed by using protocols technology. only encrypted data passes through these tunnels that is why it is used for uploading content securely.
