I've a question... isn't the point of connecting via a vpn so you don't
have to be concerned about the security of individual apps since the vpn
connection itself is supposed to be secure? I very often see references
to using an encrypted app with a vpn link, and similarly so references
to not caring about the security of the app until *after* it is going to
be used in the encrypted vpn tunnel?

can someone please explain this seemingly backwards logic?

Depending on the security level you need, the vpn may not be secure enough... It just protects the connection regarding out-of-the-vpn people. But it does not provide protection against people present on the vpn. Therefore, one may want to double-encrypt the connection to definitely protect the travelling data.


Hope this helps...
