Nothing that serious, thankfully. Just want to obfuscate my data and leave as little of an impression on the internet as I can. Good advice, thank you!

Your bank probably wants to make sure your account isn't being hacked. Either they think you're using a VPN, and they believe it could be a malicious person from literally anywhere, or they think you're in Sweden, and they have no idea how you got there.

It's cases like these where you might want to temporarily disable the VPN or make a special exception for your banking app, but that's up to you.

Yep! That's what I figured. I don't mind. I appreciate the attention to security.
