There is no possibility of an unauthorized interception of your data unless your VPN provider is a sneak (very rare, and who would for Neopets?).
When you switch on a VPN, it'll encrypt your entire connection. All traffic from your computer will be routed to the VPN and use its IP address. An easy work-around to get more IPs is to use proxies after your VPN is up, but not many people do that - it'll be slow AS anyways.
