Nord VPN---teach me about VPNs and their advantages and disadvantages

I see Nord VPN advertising on tv. Do VPNs really offer safer internet usage? How often should you select a new server?

I used it but moved away from it. When I could connect, the connection was secure (there were no DNS leaks, IP hidden, etc.).
However, the inability for me to connect to their VPN consistently, using two different computers forced me to switch away from them.

I use Express VPN all the time. $99 annually.
I like that it has a kill feature that disconnects the connection if the VPN drops. Really good for torrenting and those types of things. ExpressVPN doesn't log traffic data, DNS queries, etc., but I don't think Nord does either. It rarely drops out of VPN. It also auto-selects the fastest server, so that's nice.
The only disadvantage is that speeds drop about 40mbps on VPN, but you won't really notice if you have a high-speed plan
