What Is VPN?
VPN “Virtual Private Network” is the most effective way for people to protect their internet traffic and keep their identities private online. As you connect your device to a secure VPN server, your internet traffic goes through an encrypted tunnel that nobody can see into, including governments, hackers and also your internet provider.
Let me put that in easy words, Many Internet Service Provider (ISP) reduces your bandwidth when they detect certain type of traffic like gaming, streaming, or file sharing and a VPN helps you encrypt your traffic which makes it harder For the ISP to figure out what you are doing on the Internet.
Do You play game’s Which are banned in your country?
Yes, you read that right! One can still have access to sites or applications which are banned in country by using VPN (Virtual Private Network).
VPN grants you access of sites which are banned in your country, as VPN bluffs your IP address which makes it harder to identify your exact geolocation. It is also used to reduce ping while gaming.
Here’s how to surf securely with a VPN.
- Once you are online, start your VPN. The VPN acts as a secure tunnel between you and the internet. Your ISP and other third parties cannot detect this tunnel.
- Your device is now on the local network of the VPN, and your IP address can be changed to an IP address provided by the VPN server.
- You can now surf the internet at will, as the VPN protects all your personal data.

Why should you use a VPN connection?
Your ISP usually sets up your connection when you connect to the internet. It tracks you via an IP address. Your network traffic is routed through your ISP’s servers, which can log and display everything you do online.
Your ISP may seem trustworthy, but it may share your browsing history with advertisers, the police or government, and/or other third parties. ISPs can also fall victim to attacks by cyber criminals: If they are hacked, your personal and private data can be compromised.
This is especially important if you regularly connect to public Wi-Fi networks. You never know who might be monitoring your internet traffic and what they might steal from you, including passwords, personal data, payment information, or even your entire identity.
