This is new to me. I could only find one source claiming to explain what a "VPN fingerprint" is and the definition made little sense (and the site looked dodgy).
I tried a tor privacy browser in the past and it was bad news. I ended up taking the blame for some of the illegal traffic in the peer-to-peer network from my ISP. I may not have been protecting myself with a VPN though.
You can get Add-Ons to change your outgoing headers - User-Agent and the like.

more than you do, and then what about your Linked-In profile, your Google account, or whatever online accounts you have - they very often have unique identifiers in the URL.
Svea was able to piece together a German politician's profile together and went and showed her the online searches included in the dataset

Thanks for this, but what this website refers to a browser fingerprint. I'm curious about this "VPN fingerprint."
Here's an example

Interesting, but this is a proposed means to identify if encrypted traffic is an OpenVPN tunnel. This can't be what the poster was talking about.
I think it is supposed to mean the pool of IP addresses used by a particular VPN company.
Interesting. I wonder if there is a way to randomize the pieces of info they are able to collect from the browser.
Tor Browser tries to make the browser fingerprints identical for their users.
