Why exactly am I using a vpn? - Spiderpigboi - Jun 22, 2015
Why am I using a con exactly? So people can't track my email or snapchat? I don't get how they could do that anyway?😟 or is it for redeeming?

You don't need to use one. It is possible for people to track via your E-Mail header, but I doubt 99% of pedos would even know or attempt it. A VPN would be ideal for Skype, however. You can use any VPN to redeem a Amazon GC, or really anyone you get via E-Mail.

I'm just wondering what ways would they track me cause I haven't replied to any emails I only use snapchat and I haven't redeemed and cards yet , but I also haven't used a vpn. Is there any chance they can track me when redeeming my card?

Amazon only tells them that it's been redeemed. In very rare cases will Amazon disclose location, I think it has to be if someone paid via bank and calls in about fraud I think? Anyway, it's pretty rare.

To people can't track you, it's really hard to happen that. I personally don't use it.

Outbound's tutorial to tracking a email header:
Step 1: Right click email, view header.
Step 2: Copy header and post it in a header tracking website.
Step 3: Geo-Locate IP and if it's a home IP well you know what you can do with that to get info.

so you're one step closer to being anonymous online and so you don't get butchered in your sleep by some ewhore client you crossed on pof.com

Lines that basically identify routing information.
Never said the process was hard, just saying that the pedos would most likely not attempt it.

You don't really need to use one, but I would recommend it just to be one the safe side.

VPN's are pointless for e-whoring, unless you are using Skype then I hope you've turned the option off where your Skype ID can be resolved reveling your IP address.
