As the title says. Im trying to migrate towards privacy based choices all around. A VPN has been tough, I cant access some websites and i dont think i could convince my wife to adopt using it. I still use it anyway.

No, the server you reach out to sees the full traffic because that is the server your device is communicating with. It is only routed over the VPN, which acts as a middle person.
