Yea, VPN doesn't do anything. Anyone who has a little knowledge about Cybersecurity will know that a VPN is almost as good as useless. Doesn't do you any much good. And never combine Tor and VPN. If you are in a country where cryto trading is illegal, please do not break the law by trying to trade just obey the law. It is only a person who has freedom that can trade, buy or sell cryptocurrencies.
It doesn't really do a thing in trading unless you're from a country that has banned crypto and trading it but you're trying to break that law, you're at risk in using it.
