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

[SamReomo]

It's good habit, but there are few cases where you're forced to use public WiFi. For example, losing mobile signal since you're in basement or huge building or you run out of data usage/cap.

Yes, those situations do happen with most of us and during such times we are forced to use public Wifi and for such times it's always recommended to use a good and high privacy VPN if you want to connect to online services.

It is possible to used x.com in Brazil just by downloading Tor, no VPN needed. However, as it is very slow, the experience is terrible...

but it is safer, compared to VPN use.

I would not suggest doing that with Tor.
There is a good chance your twitter account would be banned quickly because IP addresses in Tor browser are always changing with every new restart with new identity.
For your case it is probably better to use Mullvad VPN with single dedicated IP address or at least same country should be used.

If someone uses a VPN with a single dedicated IP address or consistent location, will they have a problem with the casinos?

I don't think so

You just need to be aware that some casinos are region blocked. If you are using casinos in a region which is blocked, you are using at your own risk. Be aware that you may just lose any funds you deposit there, since you are abusing their terms of services.

It all depends what crypto casino are you using.
I heard some casinos are accepting vpn, others are tolerant, and there are some that consider using vpn as abuse of services and trying to cheat.
If you want to be sure I would suggest first carefully reading the terms, and asking specific casino support for clarification about vpn.

This is true and I understand such a risk. Since the casino must have stated it in their ToS, they could turn bad players and confiscate your funds when you deposit and make a big win.

Even big winnings the casino can take issue with to the point of asking you for paperwork to withdraw them let alone using a VPN so it's even more risky.
The point is that in casinos avoid using a VPN even if they say “VPN friendly” it's just a front so make sure it's without a VPN.

Usually many users bypass geo-blocks on casinos to the point where it becomes unfeasible for the casino to monitor connection logs, making it an "unnecessary" effort to apply any kind of restriction on the user's account.

Even so, I don't recommend using VPNs on casinos to avoid unnecessary risks.

The biggest problem will be being consistent with a particular ip and location. I have ran into such issues before and the best solution to this is to get a casino that allows your location and have peace of mind. I was intentional about the question because it dealt with me in the past.

I don't have a problem with a specific IP location as long as it's within your country, I even gamble in some places when traveling that's no problem.
Like using my shop wifi, using home wifi, or using cellular data of course it's a different IP but not getting any problems.

If anyone is using NYM vpn I recommend switching to Anonymous mixnet mode.
This is safer option for wallets made especially for payments, transactions, emails, messaging, etc.
You can pay with crypto coins Bitcoin, BTC-LN, Monero, and there is 50% discount when paying with NYM token.
1 Nym token is currently around $0.06:

Which vpn do you use?

I am having problems to acess some casinos, which are getting blocked in Brazil. But the proton vpn only allows Japan and USA for free, which are also region blocked in some casinos

Yea, you will definitely not have a problem using your cellular data, home and office Wi-Fi because the ip addresses are in near proximity or are treated as shared ip. Also there is not reason or sign of suspicion in your account.

Which vpn do you use?

I said I am testing NYM vpn because I generated code (24 words) and applied for 30 days free period.
No sign up, no personal details, and it works very well with basic settings and good speed.

NYM have all countries available for now, but I had some issues making it work in Fedora Linux using flatpak and app image.
I think it's much easier for Debian/Ubuntu and Archlinux:

Thanks. I will try in windows. Let's see if I can access bc.game and other casinos.

I just use Linux as a wsl for coding and work, so I don't install these kind of apps there.

If you don't want to purchase before trying maybe you can try this 24-word recovery phrase I posted bellow, and let me know if that worked for you.
But better be quick because this was shared publicly, other people are using it on their devices, and there are limited number of devices allowed.
