We are talking about the fictional characters, Rio and Professor Sergio, of the famous Spanish TV series “Money Heist”, which is about the sieging of The Royal Mint. No, we are not going to say or claim that Rio along with Professor read one of our guides and bought the VPN deal via us, rather we are just emphasizing on the fact that Rio knew the importance of using a VPN service.
The Scene
The scene is in the third episode of the second season where they buy weapons online from the dark web and use a VPN to hide their real IP to avoid possible surveillance and tracking.
The IP address, which is your online passport number, is exposed if you are not using a VPN service. It is also impossible to access the dark web without a Tor browser, therefore, Rio who is also one of the hijackers of the heist is shown as a computer expert helped by El-Professor, the mastermind of the heist, to buy the weapons and other illegal software to execute the plan.

The series is over and Netflix has already announced the third season to be released this July 2024. We will have to wait and see if Raquel found Professor via a VPN or by the hint that Professor gave to Raquel on those beach photographs backside. He was way ahead in strategy even then, he knew that Raquel loves him and eventually she will see the photographs and her past memories with him. Professor was also quite confident on the fact that the Heist will execute as per the plan and they will go to the decided place, therefore a clue for Raquel.
Wrapping Up
Well, I’d just say that, be it a fiction or a real life, a VPN is a must-must for each and every one of us. Yes I did put 2 “must” on purpose. If you are not the hacker or not planning a heist then there will be someone stalking on you and your online activities from your IP, so it’s really important to hide your IP address and preferably use a paid VPN service that does not keep activity logs.
