disregard what I said on my other comment. I believe it to be correct, but despite the post title this is not a VPN, but a proxy, as the article says, that needs to decrypt the HTTPS traffic.
weird choice to be honest.

they were explaining what happens with a proxy server, but with only a VPN there’s no proxy server or other such decrypting middleman. but in short: TLS was made to protect against exactly this: the network between. only thing leaked is the domain you are connecting to

Alright, thank you! I’ll do some research on TLS to learn a bit better how it works and stuff, I think. 😁
