A VPN does not make you anonymous.
It hides traffic from the network you do not control. That is enough for a cafe.
FAQ
FAQ
Is a VPN overkill if the padlock is already there?
HTTPS hides what you type. The cafe still sees which sites you open. A VPN hides that too.
Where do I start?
Password manager first. Antivirus second. VPN last. Why the order starts with a password manager.
Are you another best-VPN mill?
