i’magine your computer is your home.
regular, unprotected connection to the internet is done by using your front door or window… everyone can see when you come, when you go, and if you have visitors or deliveries.

While using your neightbors isn’t that much improvement, it makes it harder for anyone to say it was you doing comeing and going. But VPN are much bigger than that… you’re neighbor is a bad ass, and the entire neighborhood has tunnelled into their basement and their activity obscures your activity.
