Well, the 'after IP' is an IP shared with tends or hundreds of thousands of other people.

But yes the use case for a VPN is pretty narrow. E.g. not wanting your ISP to mess with your traffic and decreasing chances of detection of torrenting

Well your computer usually gives away more clues than just the ip so it's pretty easy to fingerprint you online.
