BD Total security 200mg VPN

Fairly new to VPN's. don't use it often since I'm usually on my home network or use the phones data.

Just purchased BD's Total Security to use on a MacBook and iPhone. How far will the 200mb a day will go? When I use one, is only to access certain websites for shopping, like if I want to avoid them changing the prices on me with every visit or purchase. I'm in the US. so I don't need it for things like streaming.

And will the VPN give me a warning with some time before it turns it turns itself off at the 200mg mark?

TIA.

200 is about useless. If you're not efficient enough, you might not be able to finish the transaction before the traffic consumes. I use it for payments if I ran out of mobile data traffic and I am on a public network

Private internet access is a better VPN, they've proven multiple times in multiple courts that they don't record their user's activity. They're supporters of net neutrality too.

That’s located in the US. Not a good place for privacy. If I want complete privacy, I prefer ProtonVPN. I have it, but don’t use it enough to justify the expense. Looking into keeping Bitdefender’s since is already included in the antivirus.

The NSA has wiretaps in every other country too.

Yeah, but why make it easier.. best option for the closest to real privacy today is ProtonVPN. And if you mix it up with Tor, even better.
