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.

    A VPN does not strictly hide your location. There is a lot of information that is shared with the websites you visit, e.g. your preferred language, timezone, etc.

    A VPN can only change the IP-Address which also reveals information about your approximate location. In my case it is often times a city in another state, not very accurate.
