What VPNs Do and Don’t Do

Usually, when a VPN routes your traffic through a server, the connection is encrypted, meaning that only you and the server can decrypt the traffic. This can be useful in a lot of situations—like when you’re using public WiFi—because it means that no one, from your Internet service provider to the network owner to any hacker can see any of the information you send over the network.

What a VPN doesn’t do is protect you from insecure websites (websites without a security certificate). A VPN doesn’t protect you if you submit information to an unencrypted site or accidentally download malware. In short, a VPN protects you in transit from one site to the next but can’t protect you from any actions you take at your destination site.
