VPNs, or virtual private networks, continue to be used by millions of people as a way of masking their internet activity by encrypting their location and web traffic. But on the modern internet, most people can safely ditch them, thanks to the widespread use of encryption that has made public internet connections far less of a security threat, cybersecurity experts say.

Literally no one uses a VPN to encrypt their web traffic. They use it to anonymize themselves and their location. Those are two separate things and the former isn't something that's ever been at risk for anyone who knew how to not be a retard online.

You're dumb if you believe that. True there's no such thing as true anonymity for the serfs. However that's irrelevant. You'll never be a high enough value target for the CIA / NSA / GCHQ to burn through the man hours and orders / requests to get to through a VPN etc. You never will be. A VPN currently does and constantly does "fool" the government.
