As the title says. Im trying to migrate towards privacy based choices all around. A VPN has been tough, I cant access some websites and i dont think i could convince my wife to adopt using it. I still use it anyway.

    VPN encrypts your traffic and obscures it from your ISP, as well as the server you’re reaching out to.

    Unfortunately a lot of people use VPNs to hide their malicious activity, and for that reason, many sites will block the connection. It’s unfortunately just the way it is.

      (…) as well as the server you’re reaching out to.

      No, the server you reach out to sees the full traffic because that is the server your device is communicating with. It is only routed over the VPN, which acts as a middle person.
