I found that using a proxy could be a better solution in certain cases. It provided a stable connection and less scrutiny from online banking security systems, improving my overall experience without sacrificing privacy. If you're running into similar issues with VPNs and banking, get a proxy might be worth considering. It’s a subtle shift but made a significant difference in accessing my banking app smoothly.

I've been using VPNs for security for a while, especially for sensitive tasks like banking. Initially, I thought VPNs were the best option for ensuring privacy and security online. However, I noticed that some banking apps and websites have issues with VPNs, either blocking access or triggering security alerts due to the IP changes. This became quite a hassle, particularly when I needed quick access to bank documents or services.

Everyone has their own tastes and preferences! But for me, just an impressive service is VeePN! I downloaded this app from their official web . According to its own statements, this popular application provides a huge network of servers around the world, the ability to unlock many platforms with games, music and movies. And also this resource has very serious security and privacy features.

I've been using nordvpn and I love it. Bought a 2 year subscription on one of the Xmas sales. Been using it on Windows and Android, super easy to use.

 

There are online comparisons of major plans out there. Be careful though, there is a lot of misinformation / fake news / affiliate sites out there so it's a bit hard to know who to trust. It's pretty technical, but as a start recommend you read https://www.reviewsed.com article on the impossible task of creating the best of VPN lists. It gives a good overview of some of the issues, and what VPNs can and cannot do.
