I'm not the leader of the class, so I can join the session without logging in to a Zoom account. The link to the class is private and given only to participants, so I think it's low risk. I have a VPN as well. (I use TunnelBear, which I've been happy with for several years.)

I know in the Spring of 2020 there were reports of people "Zoombombing," or getting unauthorized access to Zoom meetings. There are security measures in place now to prevent this, if the host uses them.

Zoom has put together a document detailing best practices for using their platform: https://zoom.us/docs/doc/Securing%20Your%20Zoom%20Meetings.pdf
