Every podcaster and YouTuber is promoting one VPN service or another. They tell you all the things their VPN can do and why you should use it.

Here’s all the things a VPN will not do:

• prevent you from clicking on a malicious link

• prevent you from responding to an email from a wealthy Nigerian prince

• stop you from getting caught up in a catfishing scam

• protect your shitty, weak password that you use on every single site and app you use

• keep you from getting hacked because you don’t have 2-factor authentication

• make you “a ghost” or “anonymous”

• turn you into a deceptive hacker and make you appear all mysterious and shit
