I could use some help understanding VPN.

If I setup a VPN connection does it stop all traffic attempting to go out unencrypted?

I don't see how a vpn would reroute traffic coming from non browser apps?

Yes that's correct I just like to keep my personal information private.

I wanted to use electrum but they don't support ethereum do they?

Does a VPN route all traffic though? Using TOR could cause leaks when using chrome as the chrome app may not be a simple tcp connection.

I've tried looking into apps for the pc and getting a non networked machine however I can't find any decent apps for ethereum. I'm wanting to use it for ether.

Thanks for your reply

I am wanting to take the plunge into hardware wallets soon however one thing is bugging me.

I obviously don't want anybody knowing I have a wallet in my safe at home

I understand you need to use a chrome extension with the ledger so that makes it impossible to use tor.

Does the ledger transmit any ip information when creating wallets?

If anyone could advise me on keeping the ledger anonymous that would be great

Thanks
