alt Hacker NewsI've always assumed that when I am logged in to a website like Hacker News and I switch VPN endpoints, Hacker News now gets to see that I am a VPN user and track me between the IPs. I mean being logged in to something obviously negates a large amount of anonymity but switching servers while logged in really gives away the VPN usage, right? Or do large web services already keep up to date indecies of all common VPN IPs?
It's very common for people to switch networks many times a day anyway so it's not obviously a VPN user - even when switching countries to some extent.
