I have read some stuff about how if you are logged into like your google account while on your VPN you have pretty much given yourself away.

So first, is that accurate?

I just got a mullvad vpn and am using their browser. Created a new lemmy account. And I shut down my other browsers before connecting to the vpn to be on the safe side. Is that necessary? Anything else I need to do to sail the high seas anonymously and safely. I am looking to start finding all the movies that never seem to be on my many streaming services, but want to be safe about it. Thanks

Is there a VPN that binds easily to android? I had been using Flud and cyberghost VPN but did not have them bound. I just let my cyberghost vpn membership lapse so I could get a new VPN for tormenting, but haven't picked one yet. I torrent from my phone quite a lot and not just my pc.

In that case enable the block connections without VPN under the VPN settings in network

As someone else pointed out, Android has a built in kill switch so you would use that setting for system wide VPN.
