    Regarding this:

    I bought 2 Year Subscription account from NordVPN
    They have discount (79 USD for 2 years)
    I am planning next month to buy from them dedicated IP address too.

    So my questions are:

    Should I use VPN connection for all internet (surfing, gmail...) or just when connecting to server (ssh and web)?

    Except slower connection (nearest vpn servers are Croatia surrounding countries - Italy, Austria...) any other downside?

    Regarding CSF firewall, should I then put my dedicated IP to whitelist?
    Only run this, nothing more?
    csf -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

    Should I put my dedicated IP address in pijanitvor.com.ssl.conf file too?

    @Sunka so almost one year on; necrobump sorry, how are you finding nordvpn?

    I'm on the edge of dumping my DigialOcean hand rolled one for an easier to use on any device setup. It; the vpn, keeps failing in various ways.

    So I'm kind of on the hunt for an easy, cost effective, alternative that I can fire and forget with.

    Nice one. It working but in the sky is new star. ProtonVPN is something that you might consider too.

    That was going to be my next question ;) I had the same email, didn't know much about them, so came here first to look for my peers in the know ;) Can't exactly promote something one knows nothing about...
