Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if a VPN eliminates vulnerability.

Generally a VPN does nothing to eliminate security vulnerabilities. The value of a VPN is the layer of privacy it creates between you and your ISP.
You are vulnerable to attacks when you view web pages. Viewing them through a VPN doesn't change anything. You are still connecting to remote hosts and downloading content.

Thanks for the heads up. I wonder if a VPN eliminates vulnerability. The researchers say no, VPN is not a help. The article does not say why.
