A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a service that secures the web making a private connection by redirecting your connection to a server and it will make actions online hidden.Ever wonder how it works? It works like this,once you start the VPN client the VPN will start encrypting your data, changing your location address depending on the server you connected into.To know more about VPN’s you can go to this link : https://thebestvpn.com/what-is-vpn-beginners-guide/.

As for me I use VPN for as Internet Speed booster without knowing what it really is, or how does it work. This VPN thing, I discovered this one on facebook. I even joined a group where they share the modifications of those VPN’s and it let you access the internet for free. Now that I know what it really does. I’m now using it to increase the security when watching anime and movies online. Once connected to a VPN it really does change your address for example  you choose to connect to a Singapore Server and then you go to http://www.google.com. There will be an additional text that indicates where you connected the url of Google will be http://www.google.com.sg wherein that sg indicates you are like in Singapore but just your IP Address. Pretty cool right.


BENEFITS OF USING VPN:

1) Improvement in Security

With VPN the increase of our online safety and privacy is ensured. There are instances where you need a VPN for example when connecting to a public wifi connection. Data from your device is accessible to others but with a VPN your data will be encrypted and your IP address will be hidden.

2) Remote Access

VPN lets you change your location by connecting to another country’s server which means any restriction on the web server on your country will be accessible even without going to other countries.

3)Anonymity/Bypass Restriction

VPN makes you untraceable compared to other software this also make you anonymous on accessing different websites.

According to Rob Mardisalu and his team on thebestvpn.com the reasons why people use VPN is because to:

  • Access better entertainment content
  • Access social networks,or news services                                           
  • Keep anonymity while browsing
  • Access sites / files / services at work
  • Access restricted download / torrent sites
  • Communicate with friends / family abroad
  • Hide my web browsing from the government
  • Access a Tor browse

I recommend the VPN that I’m using which is Psiphon Pro it is a free application downloadable on PlayStore and AppStore.This App has an easy to use interface,you just need to select the server you wanted to connect,then tap connect.Voila you’re connected.
