Maybe a "better" / cheaper solution could be to set up an account with https://privacy.com/ where you can create virtual credit cards that you can further lock down to one vendor / payee, a total monthly limit, etc. Seems almost silly to spend $5 / month to a VPN provider just to pay one or two bills over what is likely a perfectly secure TLS tunnel that https already provides. Again just my $0.02 as well :-) --Ray On Thu, Oct 5, 2023 at 9:19 PM charles meyer <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > My esteemed listmates, > > Patron on living on modest Social Security alone is exploring if there’s > any free to low cost ($5-10 a month) VPN for her once a month electronic > payment of her bank credit card from her checking account using a free > library hotspot. > > Her bank for her credit card has no brick and mortar locations. > > I wasn’t sure what others used as reliable tech sites for comparing and > contrasting VPNs? > > Just Googling this, I found these sites but I’m not sure how a accurate any > of them are? > > https://www.vpnmentor.com/blog/best-free-vpn-wifi-hotspots/ > > https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/hotspot-shield-vpn > > https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/surfshark-vpn-review/ > > https://www.usnews.com/360-reviews/privacy/vpn/hotspot-shield > > Thanks so much, > > Charles. > > Charlotte County Public Library > -- Ray Voelker (937) 620-1830
