One of the biggest cybersecurity myths out there? VPNs equal complete privacy. Here's what you need to know: A VPN hides your IP address, but it doesn't make you anonymous. Your VPN provider still has your data and logs and can hand them over if requested. Websites still track you through cookies, fingerprints, and browser activity. On the latest episode of The Connectivity Cloud Podcast, João Pedro Gonçalves and Michael Tremante break down why VPNs aren't the silver bullet they're marketed to be.

In this episode of The Connectivity Cloud Podcast with Cloudflare, host Mark Dembo is joined by João Pedro Gonçalves, CISO and Managing Director at EQT Group, and Michael Tremante, Senior Director of Product at Cloudflare.
