Just off the top of my head, regarding VPNs. They are indeed an excellent security tool, even if not “100% secure” - this is particularly true of those designed to work on iOS/Android, but one word of caution... *rememberer* what country/region/server you are connecting via when accessing a specific vendor’s site, especially when placing orders.
Without realizing it, I have, in the past, used conflicting VPN addresses (one server was UK based, another one was NYC based) when contacting & placing orders with vendors. In one case this lead to a great misunderstanding and almost got me banned from a very valuable resource.
Lesson learned : VPNs can be great, but it’s best to try to avoid “red flags” by being consistent - at least with the general region - of the chosen proxy(s) you are using when accessing a particular address.
