"VPN - the ultimate tool"
Virtual private network (VPN) – the ultimate tool to ensure your online privacy and anonymity. What is a VPN, why you might need it and how it works – read below!
Surfing on an unsecured Wi-Fi network may expose your private information, browsing history etc. Unless you are logged into a private Wi-Fi network, your data could be spied on by strangers using the same connection. A VPN masks your IP-address, so your online actions are virtually untraceable. It is a must for those who are working remotely, for example, in a coffee shop.
How it works:
- VPN creates a data tunnel between your local network and the exit node in another location
- Your device gets another server’s IP address, not yours
- For the provider you seem like being in another place
- VPN encrypts your data, making it unreadable
