What is the purpose of 2mdn.net appearing on my screen?

In the top left corner of my screen here, where it says “not playing” there was a website of some sort that read “2mdn.net”. i’m scared it’s some sort of hack as one website says it is.

I read your question. It is very possible that the VPN caused the issue. Your iPhone is not hacked, and that is not easily accomplished unless someone has extended physical possession of your iPhone with your Apple Account and password and your iPhone's passcode. Unless you have a requirement to have a VPN for work or school, I would remove it.

Thank you. While scrolling around trying to read about it i came across a site called 2-spyware.com and accidentally clicked it and people have said they got malware just from going on the site in google forums and stuff. I closed the site before it fully loaded but still

You did not get hacked and no spyware was installed. Sound was playing and that is all that was indicated on your phone. There are no executable applications that can be installed on your phone from a website, so you do not need to worry about that.
