  • That depends where your VPN is.

    Say you access a VPN located over seas from your phone while on mobile data. Then your traffic is encrypted and your mobile data provider (for your phone) should only see traffic to one IP address.

    Say you access the same VPN while at home connect to wifi or Ethernet on a PC (or on your phone), then your ISP should only see traffic to the one IP address (that’s located over seas).

    Now let’s say your are tech savvy enough to run a Wireguard setup and or Tailscale setup at home and make your own VPN. Then you access that from work or from overseas with a mobile phone or laptop. All your traffic should now show as connecting to your homes IP address directly, but keep in mind your home ISP provider then sees you connecting to sites like Google, Facebook, or Lemmy.
















  • Yup Facebook can and does scrap other websites.

    Those log in with Facebook buttons tracking you all over the web even if you don’t log in with them.

    My guess maybe a website like LinkedIn for example had your middle name and facebook used that to build your full name on your deleted account (that’s still floating around out there by the long last of it)
