Hello All,
Is it recommended to use a Free VPN while doing Bitcoin Transactions?
I found this top 10 list:
https://anonymster.com/top-free-vpn-server/I tried CyberGhost they have a free tier but it's pretty slow but it's still acceptable...
Do you see any dangers of using a Free VPN or you rather recommend me a paid VPN?
Your thoughts?
Thanks
Out of free ones you have OperaVPN which comes as extension on the opera browser (tho they operate more as proxy and you have their app for android, speed and everything is okay; also I have also used these out of free ones :

To be honest VPN gives you more privacy but you need to trust them as they can monitor all of what you are doing, keeping it all https removes them the ability to see your passwords and all but still they can track you. Paid VPNs are faster and more convenient they also tend to say that they do not keep no log policy. But don't just blindly go for that no log policy just because they say that, you never know who to trust these days.
Some paid that are not US based (can pay in
BTC):
Italy AirVPN.org
Panama NordVPN.com
Sweden oVPN.se
Sweden VPNTunnel.com
There are a lot of providers...
To just make bitcoin transactions I don't think we should use VPN if you are not involved with some shaddy businesses or darkweb marketplace. However for moderate personal privacy, TOR browser could be enough and most of the bitcoin web wallets also have their TOR version.
Problem with Tor is that governments can see that you have connected to a node in the TOR network and they might start to look what you are doing and what were you doing before, they still can't see what are you doing while you are connected to a TOR network as it is all "well encrypted" and also nodes don't get the full info about you. But anyway everyone can run an exit node.
