@duxsco@fedifreu.de @mullvadnet@mastodon.online If the VPN provider does a good job with preventing logging, they are a service that anonymizes your IP.

@taoeffect@crib.social No, they're not… It's not how VPNs work… VPN is not Tor, VPN has never been designed to be "anonymous" and can never be "anonymous" at all… Replacing with a unique identifier with another unique identifier, with a sigle organization that can link both identifiers is not "anonymisation"… Anyone claiming it is, is either naive and don't understand basics or network computing OR is lying and is only interested in marketing bullshit… (NOT mutually exclusive) @duxsco@fedifreu.de @mullvadnet@mastodon.online
