However, when connected to a VPN, your IP address is concealed with all your browsing data instead tied up in another server, leaving you untraceable. Man-in-the-Middle attack: Targeting you at the point before connection, here a hacker goes through the network you're connected to, circumvents the weak encryption in place, and intercepts your data.DDoS attack: Commonly mentioned when it comes to gaming, a hacker will flood your network in order to slow down and even get you kicked off your network. Once again, the hacker needs your real IP address to do this.

It's worth noting if for whatever reason a hacker already knows your IP address, a VPN can't protect you against these kinds of attacks, and you should instead speak to your Internet Service Provider. What hacking attacks are VPNs less well equipped for It's fair to say hackers can be scarily sophisticated these days - whether targeting iPhones or any other internet-connected devices - and a lot of internet safety can come down to common sense and being extra vigilant. This much is true when it comes to malware and phishing, where the fundamentals of a VPN's IP spoofing abilities don't offer the same realm of protection.

That's because this comes down to the websites you choose to visit, and avoiding clicking on certain links in dodgy emails, or downloading dangerous files. That said, a lot of VPN providers go the extra mile to equip users with features that can tackle these safety concerns. For instance, NordVPN has its Threat Protection suite that works to detect sites that might host malware, as well as checking any files you download, and is available on Nord's iPhone client.
