None | 8chan Users Migrating to ZeroNet Are Accidentally Revealing Their Locations
'The Daily Beast captured 819 IP addresses for 08chan users connecting from 62 different countries. '
'But only 41 percent of 08chan’s users’ are using Tor, based on our analysis of the peer-to-peer traffic at the site. '
'A reincarnated version of the hate-filled forum, now linked to three mass shootings, appeared Monday when the original 8chan lost its hosting service. '
'Most users in our sample, 437 of them, are in the U.S., with Canada (46 users), and the U.K. (37), a distant second and third place. '
'For that reason, ZeroNet integrates tightly with Tor, an anonymity system that places layers of cut-out addresses between a user and the websites they visit. '

I never downloaded zero net, but I did try the direct IP addresses posted for accessing 8 Chan. I'm wondering
1. if accessing those would have exposed my IP or any other info (I assume just info related to browser and it's cache and cookies)
2. I use a VPN , so I'm safe from being exposed, right? (Besides whatever info was in my browser)
Also, I use brave but not Tor.
