A VPN isn't going to protect you from malware or trackers. I'm not sure how they can get away with this marketing.
If you want to boost your security focus on your web browser
ispot.tvis on one of my DNS blacklists, it seems to be an advertising service?Many VPNs have built in traffic filtering that does block common malware, phishing, and tracking domains/IPs.
Their advertising claims still do get a bit ridiculous though.
Yeah, they’re not completely telling the truth, but they aren’t exactly lying either.
They literally aren't saying anything. There are no verbs in this advertisement; the narrator is speaking in noun phrases, not sentences. So he's literally saying nothing.
Plot twist, practically ALL advertisements are misleading
Good luck trying to explain to normies what a vpn is in 30 seconds.
A VPN does this, but for your internet connection:
It lets my internets 69??
You can pretend to be somewhere else to watch some geo locked content
MLB.TV thinks I'm from Seattle so I can watch games that would usually be blacked out, works great
They have some additional services they advertise that supposedly deals with these, though I'd imagine they require installed software which would give them more visibility into systems than I'm comfortable with.
For trackers and to some extent malware, they could potentially block some by disallowing outgoing traffic from the VPN to known tracker IP's/domains or C&C hosts/networks, but I could see that being fairly infectivity overall with potentially for false positives.
They're probably referring to their DNS ad and malicious domain filter.
Came to say this. It's a feature they provide so they aren't falsely advertising but it's also nothing special.
I thought the 'security' angle was just a smokescreen anyway. Isn't it actually for accessing region-locked media?
Well, if you access things on the internet you could be sued for, your IP will not appear in the logs of your ISP or the webserver you connected to.
Sure. But they can't advertise on that point. So they claim it's for malware and tracking protection even though that makes no sense.
I think it keeps your isp from knowing what websites you're going to?
