Kraken or any other Exchange -> xrp adress 25xrp required?

[Scrypto]

Dear Ripple-Community,

I was wondering about the required 25 xrp for new wallets/addresses (which are fixed and can not be sold?): In Kraken for example u have to klick generate new  address for the xrp´s. Is this Kraken XRP-deposit adress inside of my Kraken-account also going to require these 25 xrp to be activated?

2nd Question: What is the natural and safest way to have a wallet/address in the ripple "network"? By natural I mean kinda like downloading the Ethereum client and generating an address.

In ethereum for me it was the client or myetherwallet.co*. I realize there is something similar to that for Ripple but I also know that long time ago there was an original ripple client (which is gone).

1. Exchange account generated addresses are temps, so I don't think they charge you for more than an initial account.

2. Look up nano ledger s or generate a paper wallet if you think your computer's security is on point.

So as long as m XRP stays in the exchange it is fully accessible and there is no locked 25 xrp in there. How to know which paper wallet website was a genuine one? (I might have missed the instructions for a paper wallet here)

Thank You!

Not 100% on this but there might be an initial lock up fee, but they shouldn't charge you for every generated receiving wallet thereafter. I don't know much about paper wallets, I felt the price of the ledger was worth the security it offered so I went with that option without trying to set up a paper one - ripplepaperwallet.com seems legit though.
