Do you have to use a VPN when you spend fiat currency? If the answer is no, then you don't need a VPN to spend Monero either.
Ya but if you don't use a VPN then you could be exposing everyone involved with your transaction on xmr a lil tiny bit right ?
no homie
but if you connect to a node run by feds to broadcast a transaction
of course they know your IP address broadcasted that tx
If you aren't using your own node, and don't want to expose your IP address to a strangers node, yes
