Hey, you're on the right track. At 19, you're already tech-savvy, but you're focusing more on basics. Security matters now since you manage finances online. Keep using strong passwords and two-factor authentication. VPNs can be safe if reputable ones are used. Stay cautious with links. Good luck!

Password manager is essential. It lets you create a unique password for each login, so you no longer have to remember them. The two-factor security is also important. Once you’ve set that up, make sure you don’t leave ports open on your router, avoid downloading files from unfamiliar sources, and good luck!

You're asking about popular free VPN services. They are generally safe, though some may experience data leaks. Using a VPN hides your browsing activity from your ISP, but the VPN provider can still track it. Even with a VPN, someone could potentially locate you. While Tor or proxy browsers offer extra privacy online, I haven't encountered any companies using them widely. What are your company's practices?
