No one thinks VPNs are “magic bullets”. I don’t know why this gets repeated ad nauseum.

Ooh, I know why! It’s because YouTubers hawk their preferred (sponsored) VPN as if it was silver bullet and that it’s dangerous to use your mobile device out in public or worse – public WiFi – without it. You can’t blame John or Jane Doe from parroting what their favourite YouTuber claimed.

As a quick note - location shared was not very precise (but still in the same postal index), I guess due to the fact that iPhone was connected to WiFi and had no SIM installed. If it was LTE, I bet the lat/lon would be much more precise.

And this was with location services off. How precise is a “postal index” in the author’s country (presumably Spain) I wonder.
