Have you ever had that feeling whenever you use the Internet that someone is prying on the things you do? That’s because there’s a high probability that someone or something actually is or will do so soon. If you value your privacy and security, you may want to use a Virtual Private Network, or VPN for short.
What is a VPN?
A Virtual Private Network is a tool or service that allows you to access a more secure network connection that helps you safeguard your privacy and security over a less secure Internet connection. Let’s detail its many benefits below.
Protect Your Right to Privacy
If you are a highly private individual or one that is a staunch defender of Internet privacy, a VPN can help you have your digital and web life away from the public and certain authorities. The right to privacy is a fundamental right.
Evade Local Network and ISP Snooping
If you do not want your Local Network or your Internet Service Providers to monitor your logs and browsing activity, then use a VPN. VPNs will hide all these for you and your LN and ISP will only see your traffic to your VPN. Although, some VPNs may choose to keep a log of your activities on their end.
Bypass Internet Censorship
Some communist and Muslim countries have very strict Internet censorship. If you live or travel to these countries, VPN will be your best friend that helps you access websites that otherwise you cannot with your regular Internet connection. And the government will not be able to spy on your web activities. At least not very easily and conveniently.
Those benefits are probably the most fundamental ones. The right to privacy and the right to information are very basic human rights that it may be imperative for everyone to start using VPN. But there are more VPN benefits coming your way. So watch out for the next blog post!
