A VPN isn’t going to protect you from malware or trackers. I’m not sure how they can get away with this marketing.

      Nowadays everything is encrypted by default. You don’t get additional security with a VPN.

          Name a popular service that isn’t encrypted but using it might expose you in a legitimate way.

        Well, not really with these, per se. My own VPN, Wireguard, routes back through my pihole service to double down on it’s filtering. For the most, I’m not trying to obfuscate my ip. If I wanted to do that I’d use tor or something. I just don’t want my traffic to be easily snooped on when I’m connected to wifi that isn’t mine.
