- Privacy is paramount to trading crypto.
This is not my opinion.
This is a fact. Google it.
And you probably know that some countries
are prohibiting crypto trading.
VPNs, however, can help you to trade safely and anonymously.
I'll explain why VPNs are important
and which ones work best for crypto.

Before we begin, let me say that I do not condone using VPN
or crypto to avoid taxes.
In this video, my goal is to explain how to use VPN
for crypto trading and nothing more.
There are a couple of ways
VPN and crypto exchanges are connected,
with the former being able to help the latter.
First, it's privacy.
Any trading platform or blockchain explorer
can see your IP address,
and you want to hide this information.
Even if the platform is considered trustworthy,
you have no way of knowing who operates it
And what kind of people work there.
If you are not anonymous,
someone could take advantage of your data.
A good privacy-oriented VPN will save you a lot of trouble
by making you completely anonymous during your trades.
Second issue is location.
Some countries are harsh on the anti-crypt laws
with certain cryptocurrencies being impossible
to trade there.
VPN can spoof your location and disguise your connection,
hiding it from the ISP
and making it impossible for anybody to see
that you are trading, making such restrictions ineffective.
Furthermore, that will give you access
to international markets
and thus broaden your possibilities.
With that, you can see that VPN
for crypto trading can be a valuable tool
but what is the best crypto VPN?
There are quite a lot of requirements for a VPN.
Cryptocurrency trading, however,
mostly needs privacy features
aimed at maintaining VPN connection at all times
to just kill switch.
Of course, jurisdiction outside surveillance alliances,
good speeds and perhaps split tunneling as well.
Why privacy is crucial?
I already explained.
Kill switch will prevent your
actual connection and IP leaking
if your VPN connection breaks.
Jurisdiction is important for privacy
since a lot of countries
belong to surveillance alliances and shared data.
Speed is kind of self-explanatory
with lower latency,
you can submit your shares faster.
As for split tunneling,
this feature allows you to apply VPN connection only
to your browser or specific applications,
which can help you browse several different foreign markets
at the same time.
Plus it might improve general VPN speeds as well.
I have three VPNs here that fit the bill perfectly.
I'll start with NordVPN.
NordVPN crypto compatibility is off the charts.
It has trusted independently, audited, no logs policy
in a privacy friendly location to begin with.
NordVPN is equipped with a reliable kill switch as well.
Has the fastest speeds on the market
and has split tunneling on windows and Android.
Surfshark VPN is another high quality service
that would fit great with crypto trading.
It has a trustworthy no logs policy,
and it's located in the privacy friendly jurisdiction
of British Virgin islands.
Surfshark is equipped with a reliable kill switch
and it can supply very high speeds
even rivaling NordVPN.
Crypto traders can also use split tunneling
which is available on all devices.
ExpressVPN needs no introduction.
And this is also a great VPN to buy crypto.
ExpressVPN's no logs policy has been independently
audited and proven in court.
So there should no doubt about its legitimacy.
ExpressVPN is located in the privacy friendly jurisdiction
of British Virgin islands.
It is also one of the fastest VPNs on the market.
However its kill switch and split tunneling are unavailable
on iOS, making it a poor choice
if you are treating with an apple device.
Notably PrivateVPN and Private Internet Access
are two decent VPN for crypto too,
but they are located in the privacy unfriendly
jurisdictions.
Okay guys so I'm done with my VPN list now,
but I have a few extra security tips for crypto dealers.
First, always use two factor authentication
if it's possible.
Never store your currency on your device.
Use a USB flash drive.
Don't use public wifi when doing transactions.
Choose strong passwords for all your
crypto related accounts and devices.
Use escrow services and finally employ security software
such as antiviruses and malware protection.
If you follow all these tips and use a VPN,
crypto mining and trading
will be a secure and safe process for you.
