would a vpn be considered a form of network segmentation

how about if i have a hardware wallet connected to that pc, and have mining run on a underprivileged user. Or just remove any wallets from that pc and run them somewhere else like on my phone

thanks

hello,

i was looking to get some feedback, i am new to mining and recently upgraded my gpu on my gaming rig to a Evga FTW 3090 and have been using nicehash for the ease of use i am considering switching to a miner like trex miner after hearing some chummy stuff regarding leadership in nicehash. that being said is running a miner on a personal computer, my only pc, a security risk for my personal data and is trex miner good mining software for the 3090? how have your experiences been with nicehash vs other mining software?
pardon my ignorance
