Mind you, they can still easilly track it back to the VPN, so make sure you're using a provider that puts privacy above all an is not based in countries like the US or UK. That said, if they just throw an unsupported accusation at you and the ISP cuts you out, using a VPN or not makes no difference. permalink fedilink source parent
