I'm concerned about the safety of using a VPN. I've heard it can protect my online privacy, but I'm not sure if it's completely secure. Can someone explain if VPN is SAFE to use and if there are any risks I should be aware of?

One significant drawback is that a VPN cannot thwart cookie tracking. Websites often use cookies to monitor user activity, and a VPN cannot fully shield users from this practice.

Moreover, a VPN is not immune to viruses or malware. While it can encrypt data, it cannot guarantee the safety of the device itself from malicious software.

Phishing scams are another threat that a VPN cannot fully protect against. Scammers can still pose as trustworthy entities and trick users into divulging sensitive information.

A VPN may offer robust protocols and military-grade encryption, yet this does not guarantee its invincibility. Despite its advanced security features, it has certain limitations.

Data leaks are a potential risk associated with VPNs. Even with strong encryption, human error or system vulnerabilities could lead to the exposure of sensitive data.
