I've been using a virtual private network (VPN) whenever I do any financial transactions on the Web. I was wondering, if a website is already secure (https://), does a VPN provide extra security? Or, does it not matter at all?

BTW, I usually use public networks, hence my question. Thanks for your replies.

You are going to get many (and many inaccurate) responses. Once you are connected to an HTTP(S) S being the important letter, you can enter any information securely without concern.

Unless someone set up a "man in the middle" intercept and is recording you with a packet sniffer.

A man created encryption, and a man can decrypt it, too. Apple did it, and the FBI and others can do it as well, given the tools and motivation.
