What a VPN Sees & What it Hides From the ISP

Proton

Ever wonder what your internet service provider can see? A lot, as it turns out. What about a VPN? Short answer, much less.   When you connect to a VPN, some metadata about your activity is visible, like the websites you visit through DNS requests. With a VPN, the content of your activity, including the specific pages you visit and the data you input, remains encrypted and private.   Proton VPN never logs, stores, or shares your data - your browsing habits remain your own.
