Somehow using VPN makes me feel safe while working with cryptocurrencies, like transactions, payments and buying bitcoins. I've been using surfshark vpn for almost 3 months now and I guess it's okay. I haven't really tried other VPN's though for I don't want to risk my wallet just to try other VPN. You know, like what's the point if I have my door lock for months and it's not even rusted. The largest risk with cryptocurrency is that online exchanges are vulnerable, as mentioned, to hacking they say. I know some may already experienced this kind of problem, and I wonder how you manage to solve this. As someone who hasn't encountered such, I think it's a good opportunity to ask someone who does and help me point out what other things to do to secure not just my wallet account but also my other personal accounts. Cool Cool

Using a VPN is about protecting your online privacy,which is little bit different than your online safety.
A VPN by itself can't guarantee your online security.Just watch a few Youtube videos about VPNs(not the ones that are promoting them) and you will see that VPNs aren't that secure.
I've never heard about this surfshark VPN.I guess this is one of the smaller players on the VPN market.
Using really strong passwords,having good browsing habits,anti-virus software and using only trusted crypto exchange platforms and wallets is more important than the VPN you are using.
