is it a good idea to get a VPN before you start getting

If you want to get banned from your exchanges, yes

Because in the eyes of exchanges & sites like Coinbase, VPNs are frequently used by hackers, people trying to fake their identity, etc. It looks like you're hiding something. Best if you use your real IP.

Also, if you're using Coinbase, be careful with IP changes, I got locked out of my account once and had to wait like 2 weeks to get it back because I logged in from a different IP

If you get a VPN with a residential IP, you should be fine. They cost quite a bit more though

so if i get a vpn, can you turn it on and off pretty easily?

Of course you can, but it gets a little more complicated than that. You have to wash your cookies, etc. Safest way is to use a different user account within Windows. Still, that may not be enough
