just to add...
prior to above I had enquired also on Bestvpn and Douglas sent the following which may be of interest:
"In theory, yes. Using a VPN on your phone will protect your Bluetooth connection. It is also worth noting that Bluetooth has a very limited range, so 8s primarily a liability in public spaces rather than at home."

Bluetooth can be hacked over 1 mile away - https://www.sans.edu/cyber-research/secu.../bluetooth

VPN is good for bypassing ISP blocks on tv websites or torrent websites, for the lazy moments, we all can have such moments lol.
For the lazy moments you dont need VPN paid for, only free VPN, the tv shows on sites isp blocked with no legal foundation or court requests, just blocked coz they want you to buy something off them, the same tv shows.

For privacy just chain some proxies open firefox through them in your terminal.

Thanks, I read that Sans article - I can't say I understood it all but I got the gist of it. Looks like a credible source.

What does "chain some proxies open firefox through them in your terminal" mean?
I have firefox.
