I'm a little confused about how VPNs work ... I read that they provide an end-to-end encrypted tunnel between you and whoever you're trying to connect to but is that actually the case?
VPNs let you route through different countries right? - So is it an encrypted tunnel between you and the VPN service providers server ... then the connection gets decrypted and goes out in plain text? - Or does the connection route through the VPN server then to the destination still encrypted in it's tunnel?
[me in UK?] ----- [VPN server in USA?] ----- [cnn.com]
In the diagram above at what point does the request get decrypted? and does the request have the IP address of the VPN server us me? - Does the request leave the encrypted tunnel so the VPN server an read it ... then go back into the tunnel until it reaches CNN.com?
