A VPN does not provide inherent security. It is only as trustworthy as the entity providing it. As I understand it, A VPN to a safe LAN with firewall or such, yes. A VPN to a sketchy third party that will basically log everything you do, no.
VPN provides security in-transit between you and the VPN server. That’s it. Either end can nullify that security by leaking data before or after it is encrypted.
