POWER.VPN · VPN PRIVACY EXPLAINED
What does a VPN protect? Know the limits.
Understand what a VPN can protect and what remains your responsibility. Connection privacy is useful; complete anonymity is a different claim.
Different exit IP
Routed websites usually see the server’s public IP.
Still you
Signed-in accounts can still identify their user.
GOOD TO KNOW
A little clarity goes a long way.
Practical details for your next connection.
The part a VPN protects.
A VPN encrypts traffic that passes through its tunnel between your device and the VPN server. It changes the route and the public IP normally seen at the destination. It does not remove the need to trust the provider and the software you install.
Accounts, cookies and browsing history.
Signing in to an account still tells that service who you are. Cookies and other identifiers can also persist. A VPN does not erase browser history stored on your device or automatically sign you out of websites.
Threats outside the tunnel.
Malicious downloads, compromised accounts and deceptive websites need their own precautions. Keep software current, use unique passwords and review requests for personal information. Treat promises of total anonymity or protection from every threat carefully.

No. Local browser history is separate from the route used to reach a website.
Is a VPN an antivirus?
