Indian retail stock trading has exploded — 14 crore demat accounts and growing. But most traders connect to Zerodha, Groww, and Angel One over unsecured home WiFi or mobile data. Public WiFi at cafes is even worse — your trading credentials travel unencrypted. A VPN encrypts your entire connection, protecting login credentials, portfolio data, and trade execution from network-level interception. When you're moving lakhs in trades, security isn't optional.
