Hi I’m looking into maybe getting a trustworthy vpn. I never had a vpn before, I’m wondering if it is safe to login to websites using one. Will my cookies, data, traffic, usernames, emails and password be safe? Idk how vpns work so idk if the data is stored or can be looked at by some hackers through the vpn servers or what. Sorry if dumb question I’m just new to VPN’s.
Do not use free VPNs, pick one of the big companies that has been around for years.
Passwords login credentials aren’t protected by VPN, they are protected by HTTPS or ssl.
VPNs at best hide your IP and possibly location.
If a website isn’t using https, then a VPN will not make your data safe.
Have you read/looked at the Wiki in the sub for comparison? It answers if not all, almost 98% of your questions
Okay just wondering because I remember back in the day I was messing around with hacking stuff and was able to get peoples info using wireshark. Which you have to be in the same vicinity to do that but it didn’t take a rocket scientist to do that little experiment. Anything is possible. Plus you can never be too safe
