Only trust my frens, here. I thought using a VPN would mask one's actual location and ip address. But there are some sights that recognize my account with them whether or not I am using a vpn. Can someone explain? Thanks.

What VPN are you using?
On a cellphone? What are you running? stock-Android, Apple, or Calyxos or something akin?
You see, not every VPN is quite up to the task. What is important is to use a VPN that has no DNS leakage, and a no log policy. Compare what you are using to Mullvad.
Then there is your phone. If you have no root access, it will be difficult to route all traffic through the VPN-tunnel.
Starting up your phone requires you VPN to start early in the sequences, otherwise your social media get' s the chance to connect and send you messages, thereby enjoying the pleasure of ripping your data.
