Does NordVPN hide your identity?
Your IP address can be used to track your activity and reveal your location, so hiding your digital identity is a great way to stay private and secure online. NordVPN will instantly hide your IP address, secure all of your online activity, and even help protect you against malware – just by switching it on.
Can NordVPN be tracked by police?
Police can’t track live, encrypted VPN traffic, but if they have a court order, they can go to your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and request connection or usage logs. Since your ISP knows you’re using a VPN, they can direct the police to them.
Does VPN mask your IP address?
A VPN can hide your online identity by masking your IP address. It encrypts your location and the data you send and receive, helping protect your personal identifiable information (PII).
Is pirating with VPN safe?
A VPN will keep you safe on The Pirate Bay if you need to access copyright-free material because it encrypts your traffic. That means no third parties can see your online activities. Even if The Pirate Bay is legal in your country, I recommend using a VPN to keep yourself safe while you use it.
What happens if I get caught using VPN?
As discussed earlier in this article, a VPN could have a weak privacy policy, weak encryption, or leaks that allow you to get caught. A VPN could also allow your ISP to see that you are downloading a torrent if the VPN connection fails. Therefore, it is important to use a VPN with a kill-switch.
What can my ISP see when I use NordVPN?
When you connect to a NordVPN server, your internet service provider (ISP) can see that you’re connected to an IP owned by a VPN service — in this case, NordVPN.

What are NordVPN obfuscated servers and how do they work?
Fortunately, NordVPN’s obfuscated servers help address some of these VPN detection methods, so they’re great if you’re connecting from a region with a strict censorship. They hide your VPN connection by making it look like regular internet traffic. But what about your actual online activities? Can traffic hidden by a VPN be monitored?
