This is just plain wrong. Using a VPN does not give you privacy. You are simply switching your trust from your ISP to another provider. It is traceable in several ways: 1) just look at how many cases VPN providers snitched their users. I'm looking at you HMA; 2) the VPS host can see your activities;4. Well yes the IP Address would be different, because the purpose of a VPN is to give you an online privacy and anonymity by creating a private network from a public internet connection. What VPNs do is mask your IP Address, and depending on how you use it you can be virtually untraceable. VPN can also be very useful in accessing restricted **** sites and such, and it can also establish a secure and encrypted connections. ) .
