Eli5: How do VPNS work and why are they considered safe? Couldnt the network Im connecting to not just read out all my passwords etc.?
In: Technology
VPNs aren’t really that safe. Sorry, but that’s just how it is.
And yes, they could gather all kinds of info on you. And they’d probably have to turn their records over if required by law.
There’s not much you or anyone can do to prevent it. It’s not privacy by design, but rather a promise of respecting your privacy.
If you’re looking for internet anonymity maybe go for TOR.
