Need advice on best VPN for crypto trading - safety concerns?

Hey crypto fam, getting more serious about trading lately and running into some issues. Few exchanges started blocking me randomly and I'm worried about account security. Been researching the best vpn for crypto trading but overwhelmed with conflicting info.

Some specific points I need help with:

• Budget around $100/year max if possible

• Trading mostly on Binance and FTX

• Need something that won't crash during high volatility moments

• Location spoofing important (want to access global features)

• Absolute must: no logging of my activity

Anyone successfully using VPNs with their crypto setup? Which ones actually deliver what they promise? Thanks for any real-world experience!

Get something with server hopping capability. Single location usage creates obvious pattern flags

steer clear of free options - they selling your data to highest bidder including exchanges themselves

Studied this for weeks before deciding. Ended up trying Nordvpn with dedicated ip. Stable enough for quick trades without timing out

Virtual cards paired with vpn completely changed my trading experience. Payment processors greater threat than ip tracking

weird advice but physical location matters too

coffee shop + vpn less suspicious than home address + vpn

mixing protocols important. wireguard for speed, openvpn for security depending on what you prioritize

Installed three different vpns to compare for trading... Somehow ended up with five browser extensions, two antivirus warnings, and a pending divorce. Crypto security is my passion

killswitch feature non-negotiable unless you enjoy accidentally exposing your real location mid-trade

Geolocation matters more than people realize. Some regions get better spreads deliberately

Reliable experience all comes down to server loads. Surfshark less crowded during asian trading hours compared to bigger names
