Have gambled times with a colleague on the laptop and his location somehow always changed for what should that be good?
There are several areas for which it can be good.
Changing the IP address / location makes it harder to be recognized by sites / companies. Many large companies collect user data, e.g. Their interests to use for advertising purposes (personalized advertising) or to sell this data. So you use it to surf anonymously in the net.
For some Sharehosters, you can only download one free download within a certain period of time, depending on the duration of the time span, changing the IP address allows you to download different data from there faster.
One can handle geoblocking with it and so on. Access websites that are blocked in their own country or install apps from a foreign app store that have not (yet) appeared in their own country.
VPN's are good for several things. For example, you can see the content that you can't see here in Germany like Netflix, Amazon Prime or Youtube videos where "Content is not available in Germany". Short and sweet you can say to bypass geo-blocking / country barriers.
For example, Netflix has over 10,000 series and films in America, but here in Germany we have just 2,500-3,000 pay just the same as the Americans. Are enough people who do not accept something and get VPN programs to see the paid content can. Same with other streaming services.
VPN can also be good for illegal downloads to make it harder to get caught. The police can still find one, but the effort is greater and in light things such as illegal downloads of games and movies, this effort is just too much, so it's hardly worth it.
Then there are people who just want to be Anonymous on the net and are afraid to be constantly monitored. VPN programs also have encryption, which makes it almost impossible to read emails from Biespiel. Especially in public WLANs such things are beneficial.
Think your friend may have forgotten the program because the Internet speed is also worse. To gamble it is less suitable, only if you want to play a game that may not be available in Germany but for Korea.
These VPN providers are often used for supposed anonymization. That's nonsense. All these providers promise Blumenwiesen, but have a massive privacy problem.
At NordVPN, more active data trading is added: https://www.kuketz-blog.de/android-nordvpn-uebermittelt-e-mail-adresse-an-tracking-anbieter/
What remains is to fool the other party, you are in another country. However, proxies are much better suited and anonymous (because often usable without registration).
