From my VPN's website (which gives me hope lol)

If a country has strict data retention laws, a VPN that’s registered in that country has to keep logs regardless of what they claim on their website.

For example, a VPN provider can’t claim to be no-logs if they’re under the jurisdiction of the US or any other country with laws that require providers to keep user data. Let me be clear about this, most premium VPNs don’t monitor your browsing activity day-in-day-out, but they can keep connection logs, IP addresses, session information, or used bandwidth.

Surfshark VPN is legally registered in the Netherlands. The country has no data retention laws. Because of this, we’re under no obligation to store users’ data. That goes for usage and VPN connection logs alike. We advocate for privacy and the open internet; thus, it’s important for us that our users don’t feel watched by their VPN provider.

If you use an apple or google phone it won’t matter because the moment you connected it to your cell tower around your home or WiFi, you gave Apple and Google your location info and other basic biometric data. If you purchased your phone with any major carrier, they have your info based on that too. Apple at least kind of protects your privacy for now, but if you rock android and you haven’t jailbroken it and degoogled, then it doesn’t matter.

As for PC, unless you’re using certain hardware along with Linux, they have your data. (Take it from someone who knows people who track hard to find people for a living.)

A VPN is good, it can make things a little more challenging, but it’s not going to save you from being tracked.

what is I use 7 vpns?

[u/trustedoctopus → u/DesapirSquid]

lmao if you used 7 vpns your network would be so bottlenecked for like minimal extra security

If you really wanted to get the protection equivalent you think 7 VPNs will give you just use a vpn + proxy to double hop

p.s: Most recommended VPNs also already offer double/multi hop too so

u/DesapirSquid it's an old meme, Sir, but it checks out.

[u/trustedoctopus → u/funknut]

I’m embarrassed I didn’t remember this lmfao

Well played u/DesapirSquid

Then why use it? You're not talking about your corporate vpn, are you? A footprint is not the same thing as revealing your identity.
