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

    Yeah I don’t buy it.

    Instead of tapping individual connections, you now only have to tap the traffic to/from the VPNs exit nodes. Then you correlate incoming packets with outgoing packets (e.g. based on size, timing, etc) and you know the origin of the traffic.

    Bonus is that it acts as a filter, people using a VPN want to hide their traffic so you specifically want to watch those people.
