VPN is not supposed to hide you, it just provides access to some resources that are not available without VPN.

  Well, not always or not always like that. For example, I use VPN so I can achieve my true download speed when downloading from Steam, since my ISP limits to download speed in that case.

    Which country, which ISP, please?

      I'm not OP, but the same thing happens to me - UK, Virgin Media, even on their highest tier truly unlimited 200mbps bundle. Steam will start downloading at close to 20MB/s and then slow down after 10-15 minutes. When connected via VPN it runs at full speed all the time.

        Similar speeds here but works differently. Mine just gets throttled to ~2.5MB/s from start until I turn my VPN on, then I get my correct 20MB/s.
