[coup de grâce]

Fingerprinting, DNS, connection, hardware leaks, digital footprints etc are not protected using a VPN.

Oh God, he cried I never knew what it meant to be real I thought all this was a joke. So funny I forgot to laugh. Tell me how that comes 'DNS' and 'connection' are not protected using properly configured VPN? In fact VPN does protect connection confidentiality such that even if the network traffic is sniffed at the packet level an attacker would see only encrypted data. Furthermore mind explaining what the hairy ball sack is the difference between 'fingerprint' vs 'digital footprints'???

Evidently, you have very little knowledge and unfortunately generate full trust In whatever VPN It Is you're using. The VPN's configuration Is Immaterial.

Is your ISP Intercepting/rerouting your traffic via transparent DNS proxy, thereby forcing the use of their DNS servers as opposed to the VPN? Stating the absolute obvious, ever heard of a DNS leak?

Ever come across browser leaks on a personal & device level, hence exposing/leaking (fingerprinting) your browser type & version, OS, Internal & external IP address, CPU, connection type, battery charging level (where applicable), Identifiable account logins? This Is just a minority. It's way beyond the scope of this post to document every minute detail.

And all the above Is whilst you're behind a VPN. I strongly suggest you educate yourself, or simply shoot me a PM and I'll be more than happy to be a short-term mentor.

You still haven't reply me how well configured VPN doesn't protect 'connection' ? and how that comes the VPN's configuration is immaterial? Did you ever in your life opened VPN certifications to fix DNS leaks configuring addition parameters? By the bye I habitually carry out extended DNS leak tests once connected to the VPN and haven't noticed any malformed interception so far (shot me a pm and in head with magnum 38 if I am doing tremendously wrong).

Furthermore I asked you whats the difference between 'fingerprint' and 'digital footprints' as you casually stated both in your post. To me it looks like the same shit. (Yes, I am aware of the browser fingerprinting stuff like User Agent and WebRTC to name a few). But it seems like attack is the best defense and you are trying to drive me trough lunacy, indirectly implying that I am insane, evidently not answering my questions instead stating the obvious?
