>Many people assume that using a VPN is enough to keep their browsing private. It's true that VPNs hide your IP address and shield your traffic from your ISP (which is why they're often recommended for activities like torrenting). But there's another powerful tracking technique that a VPN cannot stop: browser fingerprinting. When you visit a website, your browser reveals a staggering amount of information about your device. Details like your browser version, language settings, screen resolution, installed fonts, and even available memory are all exposed, regardless of VPN use. On their own, each piece of data seems harmless. But taken together, they form a unique "fingerprint" of your device that allows websites to identify you.

Yep, Also, if you don't run your own VPN.. Well.. That's on you but you are not as "invisible" as you think you are.

VPN's, Pivots, jump boxes. Etc. I am guessing few have any idea what anything like this is.
