VPN or Tor?   IIRC, there are warnings on some sites that your account could get restricted, but since encryption and privacy are important to many users, do the sites allow it, provided that you comply with their KYC/AML verification requests?  Or is the use of VPN/Tor generally frowned upon?

Another thing, is there a thread here that discusses which exchanges in North America and/or Europe allow their customers to enable PGP so they can encrypt any email communications to you?   

Lastly, thank you for this site and its dedicated members; I've bookmarked several threads on wallet set up and safety issues for later review.
