Why is a server in Washington DC not safe and secure? I'll give you private against government snooping it's not, but it can still be safe and secure.
But it isn't the entire point tho, I use it when connected to public wifi networks to keep my connection secure. Sure, not letting your local ISP spy on you and report it to the gov is one but not the entire point.
Not always. If someone really wanted to, it's easy to create aan in the middle attack with something like a VPN. Shouldnt really ever trust public wifi with sensitive info. Can easily be sniffed with a little effort
