Safely Holding Your Cryptocurrency With A VPN

Safely Holding Your Cryptocurrency With A VPN

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network.

• Virtual because you’re not creating a new physical connecting with your destination — your data is just traveling through existing wires between you and your destination.
• Private because it encrypts your activity before sending it, then decrypts it at the destination.

People have traditionally used VPNs as a way to get around websites that are blocked in their country (for example, Medium is blocked in Malaysia) or to watch movies that aren’t available in certain countries. But VPNs are extremely useful for privacy, too.There are several types of VPN options, with varying degrees of convenience and security.Experts estimate that as many as 90% of VPNs are “hopelessly insecure” and this changes from time to time. So even if you use the tools I recommend here, I recommend you take the time to do your homework.
