Can you say more about never signing into a user account? I'm not sure I'm making the connection here.

Sorry I should have mentioned an "online account".

I have read many stories of people getting into trouble because they thought a VPN would protect their identity, and got caught because they signed into their online account which would be easily traceable.

Oh I got you. That makes sense.

The most illegal thing I do online is make fun of my kids with an account they know so I'm probably good. Though I do hate all the privacy invasion and do reasonable efforts for me to prevent like uBlock and Firefox and so on.

With the VPN it stops websites from knowing who you are. They don't have an email, name, or real IP to track.

Got it, thank you!
