VPNs can introduce latency, especially if you're connecting from outside Europe. Also, some control panels or hosts might flag VPN IPs (especially shared ones), so use a provider with dedicated or static IP options.

Recommended providers: Mullvad (privacy-first), NordVPN (has Norway servers), or ProtonVPN (Swiss-based, but good EU presence).

If security is your main goal, pairing VPN with SSH keys + 2FA is more effective than VPN alone.
