You’re just moving the risk down the VPN tunnel as the VPN company can see all your internet traffic.
Nobody can see what’s happening in the middle of this tunnel, not even your ISP.Īnd yet, it doesn’t make you magically anonymous. What the hell is a VPN? I already wrote an article explaining VPNs using simple concepts, even comparing VPNs to movie car chases.īut if you want a brief recap, when you connect your computer or phone to a VPN server, you establish an encrypted tunnel between your device and that server. While it’s important to protect your privacy, it doesn’t mean that you should sign up to a VPN service and tunnel all your internet traffic through VPN servers. People are (rightfully) freaking out about their privacy as the Senate voted to let internet providers share your private data with advertisers.
