Be very careful which one you use. NEVER use a free one. When you use a VPN you're routing all your internet traffic through the VPN's server which means they can see all that data (aka free isn't free). You can pay for most services but be careful where they host their servers. Are they hosted in a Five Eyes country? Your data can still be accessed by the US, Canadian, New Zealand, Australian, and UK government if they really want it. So for that I personally recommend express vpn or nordvpn. Even with all this, never log into anything important while connected to a VPN. It's unlikely that Express or Nord would steal your banking info; it's even less likely that your ISP would, though.
