The private key cannot be derived from your signature. The signature is stored locally in a client or browser extension or another signer app.

Sorry but I’m not going to explain further. If you truly want to know how it works, search engines are your friend. Look up how nostr signing works and look into cryptographic signatures.

Thanks but I don’t need to go that deep to understand that when a VPN is on everything goes through it. I appreciate it though.

Ok…

Don’t worry you’re a genius you can sleep well tonight.

Despite all traffic going through the VPN, your nsec never gets transmitted, so even a malicious VPN could not steal your nsec.
