Some VPN's are better than others at unblocking sites. My VPN sometimes can get me on foreign streaming sites and sometimes it can't. But that's not what a VPN is for, it's really for concealing your online identity.

How does it hide it differently than say duckduckgo? Seriously have no clue how to be the most secure in general online.

And what is the current best one?

It's not though. It doesn't do that at all. It's for hiding your traffic from your ISP. That way you don't get DCMA notices or slowdown from their end. It really does nothing to hide your identity. Especially if you log in to websites and Facebook. Sure, the random odd webpage won't know who you are, but that's about it.
