Apologies if this is not the right place for this question but not sure where to go to find out more.
It seems that we should all have a VPN for privacy reasons and this appeals to my nature to not give out more info than I need to.
But before I sign up for a VPN I have some basic questions which will show my naivety, and possibly a misunderstanding of how a VPN works but please can you help anyway?
My image is to sign up with the same VPN for my PC, laptop and Android phone:
Questions:
1). Is it always on, or do I have to "login" for it to apply?
2). Are there any disadvantages apart from possible effect on download / upload speeds?
3). Would my ISP (Plusnet) have any objections?
4). Do cookies still apply as per site settings I agree to? If not does this mean I will not be able to access some sites?
5). Re: Cookies etc..... would a VPN usage affect use of sites like 'Topcashback'?
6). Will I still be able to logon and manage online banking on banking websites and apps
Thank you for your help.
