Most people assume that turning on their VPN makes them invisible online. That’s one of the biggest misconceptions there is around virtual private networks and what they can do. After all, it encrypts your traffic and hides your IP address, right? But even the best VPNs can quietly leak data that reveals who you are — unless you enable these two simple settings that close the gap. Although VPNs do encrypt your web traffic, it’s not foolproof.
