Does a VPN track my personal information and data?

Asked a year ago

Hi everyone, I need to set up a VPN for work purposes but I'm worried that the VPN will track and record my data. Last thing I need right now is to become the victim of a cyber attack. Is this something I need to be worried about?

Is it safe to use a company VPN and access documents on public Wi-Fi?

Hi, I work remotely for an online company, and they gave us VPNs to do research and qualitative data analysis. However, there are people building next to my house, and they're incredibly loud. I struggle to concentrate. I want to go to a coffee shop to work in the morning, but I'm not sure if the VPN would be secure enough to encrypt my research on a public network. Help? Would it be secure, or are there additional steps that I should be taking to ensure data security?

Should I always use my premium VPN for online banking?

What are the odds that my data will be compromised if I am transacting from my trusted home network? Should I still use my VPN to encrypt my connection, or is it safe enough to leave the VPN deactivated when I'm home?

Linux VPN recommendations?

Hi all. I have recently switched to Linux after using Google Chrome for the last 5 years. The VPN I was using on Chrome is not available on Linux, anyone have recommendations for VPNs that work well on Linux. It needs to be a proven, well secured VPN as I can't afford any ransomware making its way through. Cheers !

Will clients trust my business if we use a VPN to protect their PII?

We're looking for ways to better our e-commerce store and take it up a notch. We profile all our customers to get a better idea of our audience and how to better target them. Would it increase our customer acquisition, loyalty, and trust in the company brand if we assure them that their PII data is secure and encrypted?

Does a VPN add an extra layer of encryption when streaming on a public network?

I'm one of those people who cannot go without music. I find that it helps me to focus, especially in the office. Unfortunately, our building restricts any streaming, it doesn't matter if it's music, videos, or podcast. I use a VPN to bypass the firewall, but I've started wondering if it adds an extra layer of encryption and whether it will be secure enough to use for streaming in a coffee shop.

Need to transfer money overseas, risks of cyber attack?

Hi all, I need to transfer money to family overseas. Over the last week or so I've been researching possible ways to do this with different providers. Even though I have been browsing with a VPN turned on, I'm worried that I may be a target due to my search history and the money could get stolen. Someone put my mind at ease please !

Should I use a top VPN to protect my information on dating sites?

I want to create an account on a dating site, but I’ve seen a documentary about women getting scammed by people on dating sites. I do not want my vulnerable information to be accessed by hackers, stalkers, and scammers. Would using a premium VPN protect my private details from being exposed by cyber criminals and the like?

Does a VPN secure business communications on a public network?

Good morning. I run a VoIP system for our remote team members so that they have 'office' numbers. I was wondering whether we could use a VPN for this as well. Often they are running on public networks, and we work with a lot of sensitive data that's best encrypted, and our conversations are best kept untracked and confidential.

Do No Log VPNs really keep no usage logs?

Hey. I have heard a lot about how important it is to buy a No Log VPN since there supposedly have been cases of VPNs selling information to third parties. But is it really possible for a VPN to exist that does not keep any data? Surely crash reports need to be kept in order for the VPN to keep functioning? Any insight into this topic would be appreciated, thanks.
