A lot of people aren't aware that VPNs are used to connect to internal networks, just "it's this thing that I see commercials about that says it protects my privacy and allows me to access content not available in my country". Hell, if you asked them what VPN stood for 90% of them would be like 🤷‍♂️

I work in IT and can tell you that most people have zero clue about technology, even the things they use every day.
