I'm wondering if the police are able to track my IP address when I'm using a VPN. I know VPNs are supposed to provide anonymity, but I'm not sure if they can completely hide my online identity from authorities.

It is essential to understand that police authorities are generally unable to monitor encrypted VPN traffic directly.

This is because VPNs encrypt data transmitted between the user and the VPN server, making it unreadable by third parties, including law enforcement.

Despite this, police do have other means to potentially trace VPN usage. They can request connection or usage logs from an individual's Internet Service Provider (ISP).

To obtain these logs, police would need to secure a court order, which grants them legal authorization to access the information.
