Is using a VPN to connect to a wallet good for privacy?

The overall user experience was good without any doubt. I used the VPN with a mobile data connection and with my friend's wifi and didn’t encounter any connection issues, delays, or slow speeds.

Did you try using more secure connection with your mobile device that is suggested for transactions and emails?
For some reason this was not working for me when I tested it, but regular connection worked fine, I think it was wireguard.

However, I had the opposite experience with my own wifii. It's probably because I use a shit internet service provider (only one available - since it's a rural area) with only a 8 Mbps line. I experienced speed issues, my connection was already slow, and after connecting, it became even slower, especially during the evening time...

Yeah that is slow for today standards, but I always prefer cable connection whenever possible.

Not sure what other VPN services are charging these days, except Mullvad VPN taht is always €5 per month.
I think $65 is not a bad price for two years usage, and if you don't like it for some reason you can always ask for a refund.
If you can let us know how everything is working for you with NYM vpn regarding speed, available locations and user experience.

It gave decent performance with others line but not with mine, sad..

Overall i am agree with you. But i have some confusion about unverified VPN and Free VPN. I saw many people complained about free vpn. But they also said paid VPN is secured. So my thinking also same.

I also think there has many vpn in play store. Among of them some Free VPN is unsecured and risky. But most of them are secured even Paid VPN are very secured and we can use that without any doubt.

No you should never use them without any doubt, but you can do anything you want with your money.
Just because you are paying for something that is not making that good, and most VPN services are just used for spying and collecting information from customers.
Mullvad and NYM are only two VPN services I would recommend, if they are paid with crypto payments.

Is using a VPN as a proxy in a wallet (that has the configuration for this) a good idea to get more privacy?

What about using a VPN over Tor or vice versa? Where you connect to a VPN and configure the wallet to connect to nodes via the Tor network. Has anyone tried this?

I have not really tried this myself, but with the little time I have used VPN, I am sure the VPN covers you off tracking, and if in a public network, like that of a company which only the workers make use of, it keeps you invincible. When it comes to the use of wallet configuration, it is a critical thing to be mindful how it goes around and the network that is used to carry out this process.

I don't trust VPNs that much and I don't believe everything they promise (even though I have an active 2-year plan with NordVPN), but when it comes to connecting to a public network without any type of active protection, a VPN (as long as it's paid) is better than nothing, especially for accessing banking services, wallets and even accounts like this forum.
