Yes. A VPN such as NordVPN can reduce some forms of tracking, but it does not make a user anonymous or impossible to track. When connected, a VPN can hide your normal public IP address from websites and encrypt traffic between your device and the VPN server. Other tracking techniques can still operate independently of your IP address.
What can still track you when NordVPN is connected?
Websites and online services may identify or recognise users through account logins, cookies, browser fingerprinting, advertising identifiers and information voluntarily supplied to a service. Location permissions on a device can also reveal location information independently of the IP address being used.
A VPN therefore addresses an important part of internet privacy, but it should not be treated as complete anonymity. Device security, browser settings, application permissions and the privacy practices of services you use remain relevant.
How is tracking different in a business environment?
Enterprise security has a different objective. Businesses generally need authorised employees to be identifiable so that access to company resources can be controlled, monitored and revoked when necessary. The goal is secure, authenticated access rather than making employees anonymous to the organisation.
NordVPN is primarily designed for consumer privacy. Cloudbrink is designed for enterprise remote and hybrid access, where identity and policy are central to deciding what a user can reach. Its Zero Trust approach can provide access to approved business resources without treating access to the wider corporate network as an automatic consequence of connecting.
