In a recent column you made the following statement: “The safest thing
to do is to use a virtual private network, which encrypts ALL traffic
between you and all websites.”
VPN encryption may not have the reach that you are stating. A VPN can
only encrypt the transmission between the client and the service
provider. The communication between the VPN service provider and the
destination of the transmission is likely to be unencrypted.

If the VPN service provider has an agreement with the destination it
will be encrypted, but it is unlikely that Facebook or any other large
web presence is establishing these VPN connections, primarily because
they would not be able to provide the throughput necessary for the
expected traffic to their sites through a VPN.
VPNs are perfect for protecting people on public Wi-Fi from the other
folks that are on that Wi-Fi. But they do not provide end-to-end
encryption.
A: You’re absolutely right. Using a VPN does two things. First, it
encrypts the transmissions between your computer and the VPN’s servers.
Secondly, it masks your IP address.
The transmissions between the VPN server and the third-party site are not encrypted unless the third-party site supports that.
So yes, there is still some exposure. But it is only with respect to the
actual content of your message if it is intercepted between the VPN
server and the third-party site. Unless you provide identifying
information in the message it can’t be tracked back to you.
The bottom line: Be aware of where you are and what you’re transmitting.
If you’re using public Wi-Fi for virtually anything, I recommend using a
VPN. Many sensitive sites — such as banks — don’t, however, allow
connections over a VPN. So in such cases I recommend not making such
connections over public Wi-Fi.When comes to the issue of online privacy
and security, we suggest to use a VPN, and our recommendation is
