As you can see Paul as you would have access to the ip details of anyone who posts here i would expect you will see i am presently posting from the USA, however tomorrow i might be in Egypt or France or even Morocco. You know who my provider is so you know that this is not my real IP. My point here is to demonstrate that if i was so inclined to post something wrong the police would not be able to find my details as the VPN provider does NOT keep the details of user IP's.
If you have a GOOD VPN then you could post what you want and they would find it almost impossible to trace you if they are behind a good VPN.
Note i don't post crap on the internet as it is not my way. However i use a vpn because i cannot stand the snooping that goes on.
The ISP's and i work for one so i have a good idea of how it works and you know what i do for them, are not allowed to read what's in the packets of your internet traffic if you are using HTTPS, this is why Phorm was never allowed to run there service over here as some classed it as a man in the middle attack. They will have my IP but any posts on forums or social media will record the IP give by the VPN .
for those that do not know who or what Phorm was

TLDR
When you route your internet traffic through a VPN, your ISP is no longer able to track the specifics of your browsing. It only sees that you are exchanging packages with the VPN server. Think of it like using a neighbor to send your mail. Everything you send out is addressed to them. They send it on. The mail carrier only deals with the delivery to the neighbors. Then, when a package returns, the carrier takes it to a neighbor without knowing it will continue on to your door. With a VPN, your ISP has no clue if you’re visiting Facebook, a banking site, Netflix, your competitor’s sites, gaming sites, etc.
