Thanks. (13 votes) Abhishek Shah 4 years agoPosted 4 years ago. Direct link to Abhishek Shah's post “The idea is similar to a ...” The idea is similar to a boss asking an employee to prepare a document. The employee knows the request came from the boss (i.e. where it came from) and knows it will be delivered back to the boss (i.e. where it's going). The employee does not know why the report is being made (i.e. the sender IP address) or to whom it will be presented too (i.e. the destination IP address). Only local (pair-wise) information is communicated, not global (the entire path). The employee is like a relay in this case. More technically, the packets are addressed with local information, so the start and end IP addresses are never known in full at any step in the route/path. Hope that helps!

If you typed "Roblock" and clicked on the first link that popped up, you may be accessing a phishing website. Especially if you have to enter sensitive information. Always be careful of what websites you enter and what information you give out. (7 votes) NPSof™ a year agoPosted a year ago.

(10 votes) Shane McGookey 3 years agoPosted 3 years ago. Direct link to Shane McGookey's post “Incognito mode is a mode ...” Incognito mode is a mode offered by a number of modern web browsers. Incognito mode generally prevents the persistence of browser history, site cookies, and otherwise. However, incognito mode does nothing to modify the underlying web traffic. The web traffic of the user utilizing incognito mode can still be captured and viewed by their ISP (Internet Service Provider), employer, etc. Incognito mode is meant to offer a private browsing experience, but it is not meant to be infallible. You can inspect the user's web traffic without needing to employ any type of "hacking." (15 votes) Patches a year agoPosted a year ago.

Many malicious actors wouldn't be willing to invest the time and effort to attack general users who are on a VPN, so you do not have much to worry about there. However, there is still the human element of security. If you visit a malicious website or download a malicious program of your own volition, the VPN will not be able to protect you against such threats.
