No VPN can make you totally anonymous online. There seems to be a common misconception that VPNs can make you anonymous, but don't let that lull you into a false sense of security when using a VPN. Online anonymity is virtually impossible to achieve, given the size of the average person's digital footprint. VPNs are great for protecting your privacy and keeping your data safe from snoopers online, but you can't count on your VPN to give you absolute online anonymity -- even if it claims it can.
