VPNs can run the rsk of "man in the middle" attacks (see link under VPN section for explanation); this is why it is not recommended to use them when entering sensitive information.

You do not need the VPN to purchase DMM points.

I've used VPNs on and off for several years and have never had an issue. However, I do try to make sure I'm not being careless and open myself to a security risk.
