Will a VPN with a fast connection be more secure?
Is it ideal to use a VPN with a fast connection for me to remain secure and anonymous when conducting business on my laptop? I'm often in and out of coffee shops with meetings and arrangements. I usually have my PC open, responding to emails and making transactions while connected to a public Wi-Fi. I've been using a free VPN, but I do think it's high time I upgrade it to something a little more high-end. Does a VPN with a faster connection provide a more robust wall/encryption of data protection? Tia Asked 8 months ago
