Ask HN: VPN for Traveling Abroad to Turkey

Hello. I'll soon be traveling for work overseas to Istanbul for approx 1.5 months. In preparation, I was evaluating the need for a) a VPN and b) device for personal use.

I was wondering if anyone had any experiences they could share. Ultimately, what risks should I consider when using my personal device while in Turkey for casual streaming, social media, and banking?

My initial reviews of VPNs have provided in mix results. I understand many VPNs and domains are blocked. Will a VPN provide me any advantages?
