        If you mean setting up a VPN within the HUB settings this is not available on any of VM's HUBs.

  • This statement "This way, you remain hidden on the internet and snoopers can’t track your online activities, let alone steal your information to use it against you." must be one of the biggest untruths about VPN's.

    Using a work VPN does provide security between your laptop & the work IT systems.

    Using other VPN's for generic internet access simply means your connection is secure from your laptop to the VPN providers location.   The connection from there to whatever website you are using is only using standard protocols.   

    The "snoopers" are probably the remote website anyway (FB, X, etc.)
