Also, I do not think sites store the IP address for ID purposes, as I have signed into many sites from different locations which would mean different IP addresses.
I will leave it to some network and security experts to expand on this.

VPN is all about encryption and "tunnels" for transport of packets by hiding your physical location. There are cases of hacking VPN though. Some VPN will not protect you from server side cookies.
