I was checking out the latest reviews on Password Managers when I remembered an article on VPN's, and started thinking. If their so good at hiding your identity, why would you need anything other than a simple password? Note: I am a hardware guy. I did the CCNA back in the 90's, but we never really got much into security. Software, really not my thing, but we get along. Anyone got a spare Protocol?
 
Nope, it doesn't protect you from malwares, spywares, and keyloggers in your system. VPN only protect you from outsiders.
