Original Note:
Almost all internet traffic is encrypted in the first place, so a VPN doesn’t significantly improve security. VPN advertising tends to use weasel wording about this (“might”). You can still be tracked via metadata such as domain names/IPs - do note that VPNs can do this too. https://transparencyreport.google.com/https/overview https://youtu.be/WVDQEoe6ZWY
