A VPN changes how traffic travels between a device and the wider internet, but the details matter more than the label.
Follow the traffic path
Document what enters the encrypted tunnel, where the tunnel ends, and which traffic may remain outside it.
Separate privacy from anonymity
Explain the parties that can still observe activity and the trust transferred to the VPN operator.
Continue with provider research
Use the NordVPN evaluation workspace and the privacy-focused review draft as examples of the evidence still required.
