duckduckgo is just a search engine that doesn't collect data on you and tailor your searches to your data profile like Google search does. A vpn will hide everything you do online.

Let's say you're at your mom's house with your best friend Rick. You tell Rick, "ogay uybay omesay eedway omfray ablopay". Rick goes to Pablo's house and buys some weed. He returns with it in a brown paper bag.

What does ISP mom know? What does VPN Rick know? What does Pornsite Pablo know?

That is basically how a VPN works. It's not end to end anonymity.

I currently use private internet access (PIA) for home use. It works pretty great and I can choose any server locations of my choosing locally or internationally. However, the only protection a VPN will offer is to conceal your IP address. If you are using Chrome for example, google is still tracking all of your searches, browsing, and behavior. This is called digital fingerprinting. They track the operating system you use,sites you frequent etc. This is to paint a digital canvas that will know who you are no matter the IP address you are using.
