Why use a VPN
Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) when conducting financial transactions can provide a few benefits, such as:
- Security: A VPN encrypts your internet connection, making it more difficult for hackers to intercept sensitive information such as login credentials and financial information.
- Privacy: A VPN hides your IP address, making it more difficult for websites to track your online activities and for advertisers to target you with ads.
In summary, using a VPN can help to protect your financial information and online privacy when conducting financial transactions.
