1 How VPNs work

A VPN is a service that creates a secure and encrypted connection between your device and a remote server, which acts as a proxy for your online traffic. When you use a VPN, your internet service provider (ISP) and any other third-party snooper cannot see or monitor your online activity, such as the websites you visit, the files you download, or the messages you send. Instead, they only see the encrypted data that goes to and from the VPN server. This way, you can hide your IP address, location, and browsing history from prying eyes.

Una VPN crea una conexión segura y encriptada (cifrado de datos) entre tu dispositivo y un servidor remoto ubicado en algún lugar distinto. Todos los datos de ida y vuelta viajan encriptados. Si alguien intercepta esos datos, no podrán entender su contenido debido al cifrado. La conexión se denomina "túnel", el cual proporciona una vía segura para que los datos, protegiéndolos contra la interceptación o la manipulación por parte de terceros. Tu dirección IP visible es la del servidor remoto en lugar de la tuya, ocultando tu ubicación real y protegiendo tu identidad. Accede a recursos como si estuvieras físicamente en la ubicación del servidor remoto. La VPN agrega una capa adicional de seguridad cuando usas wifi en lugares públicos.

2 Benefits of VPNs

VPNs can provide you with several advantages when it comes to online security and privacy. For instance, you can access geo-restricted or censored content by connecting to a VPN server in a different country or region. Additionally, using a VPN can protect your sensitive data from hackers, cybercriminals, or government agencies, especially when you use public Wi-Fi networks or unsecured websites. It can also prevent your ISP from throttling your bandwidth or selling your data to advertisers, by masking your online activity and avoiding their tracking and profiling. Moreover, you can secure your devices from malware, spyware, or ransomware by using a VPN with built-in antivirus and firewall features. Finally, you can enhance your anonymity and privacy by using a VPN with a strict no-logs policy, a kill switch feature, and multiple encryption protocols.

When selecting a VPN for your needs, there are several factors to consider. Reputation and reliability are important, as you should look for a VPN with a good standing in the industry, a large and diverse network of servers, fast and stable performance, and responsive customer support. Security and privacy features should also be taken into account, as you should look for a VPN that has strong encryption, like AES 256-bit, various encryption protocols such as OpenVPN or WireGuard, no-logs policy, kill switch feature, and DNS and IP leak protection. Additionally, you should ensure compatibility and usability by looking for a VPN that is compatible with your devices and operating systems, such as Windows, Mac, Android or iOS. Lastly, you should consider the price and value of the VPN by looking for a reasonable pricing plan with money-back guarantee or free trial. Ultimately, selecting the right VPN can provide comprehensive security solutions for your online activity without compromising your speed or access.
