I keep hearing on VPN ads that you have to use a VPN to not have your login information stolen. So far I have been using Cloudflare WARP to be safe enough. However, if I am using an HTTPS website, do I really need a VPN or WARP? Will an attacker on the same network as me be able to access passwords transmitted over HTTPS?

Just don’t use VPN’s that streamers push. VPN over public WiFi is a must

For what reason? If your doing something scketchy the VPN company is going to know about it.

If you want your DNS encrypted use encrypted DNS. If you want to be really hidden use Tor
