I love Mullvad. You don't see them in any ads (No "this video is brought to you by Mullvad VPN") and you can pay them any way you'd like... Including cash!

I've got a bit of a VPN question if anyone wants to educate a newbie a little. When I tried a VPN (Mullvad actually!) it defaulted to Sweden but then accessing my banking information didn't work. If I switch a VPN to reflect that I'm somewhere randomly in the USA, is that still sufficient protection?
it depends™
what are you protecting yourself against?
for my use case, that'd be good enough, i don't want my school/building admins to snoop on the websites i visit, and don't want to fear academic repercussions for torrenting and such
though if you think your government is out to get you, then tunneling to another country is probably best!
Nothing that serious, thankfully. Just want to obfuscate my data and leave as little of an impression on the internet as I can. Good advice, thank you!
