Some VPNs allow you to split your traffic so that some applications go through the VPN and others do through your regular internet.yeah, it was a bit of a shock when i got emails screaming at me that people had logged into my account from Israel, then it dawned on me.
I strongly recommend you take advantage of this feature if you have it, and maybe even install a KF specific browser to really isolate the FK traffic to the VPN.
Depending on your threat model, routing all your data through a VPN can be bad because if someone already has suspicions of 3 seemingly unrelated accounts all being you, and if they all suddenly connect from the same IP in Israel at the same time... Then they in tandem jump to the Netherlands and Ukraine after that, that's pretty solid evidence that all 3 accounts are the same device. And if one of those accounts is a professional business account, you've doxed your other two. And it's really easy to accidentally do connect from multiple accounts at the same time without realizing if you have any auto syncing going on, like an email client.
HOWEVER on the other end of the spectrum, funneling all your traffic over the clearnet except the one sensitive thing also makes it easy to identify you, as the times you're connected to the VPN will 1:1 correlate with the times your kiwi account is active. So you should toss some trivial things in your VPN activities as well.
