He declined the first one, because they wanted him to lie.

He accepted the other, because they were fine with just facts.

A VPN doesn't protect your privacy. It only helps on websites without working https, which is ridiculously rare these days. Yes, it also hides your IP address, but that is really really irrelevant. If you wanted to stay truly anonymous you'd not log in anywhere and use Tor. The only actual use case is circumventing geo blocking.

You can also circumvent geo blocking with a proxy, some of them are free, do not send any sensitive info on the free proxies however, not that a paid one is intrinsicaly safer, just like vpns.
