How does a VPN help protect me against ransomware?

Asked 2 years ago

Hello, I'm thinking of transferring all my data onto a cloud storage system with shared access between family members. One of them recommended using a VPN for added security but I'm not quite sure how it works. Does anyone know hoe exactly a VPN can help protect against ransomware?
