How a VPN Affects Your IP

When you connect to a VPN, websites usually see the VPN server's public IP instead of your home connection.

What changes

• ISP / organization fields

What may not change

• Browser fingerprinting signals
• Cookies and logged-in accounts
• DNS behavior depending on VPN configuration
