Question for the infosec community. Are these statements correct? They are from a Washington Post article.

"Myth No. 3: You need a VPN to stay safe online"

'But for most people in the United States and other democracies, “There is no real reason why you should use a VPN,” said Frédéric Rivain, chief technology officer of Dashlane,'

"If you’re concerned about ... WiFi networks in coffee shops or airports ... you probably don’t need to. Using public WiFi is safe now in most circumstances..."

Do you use a VPN when connected to public WiFi, your home WiFi, and when connected by cable to your home network router or modem?
