Private Browsing with a VPN – What is a VPN?

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN is actually just a way to link networks in a secure way. They allow you to create a secure connections to other network over the Internet.  Data is encrypted as it exits your machine and whilst not infallible offer you another layer of protection when using the internet. VPNs also mask your IP address so anything that you do online is practically untraceable.

We are not suggesting that everyone using a VPN is a cyber criminal, far from it. With the rise of people using public network for their wifi connections, and perhaps conducting business over these connections there are many legitimate reasons why people would want to keep their data encrypted.

In the world at the moment being security conscious  is of very important. It is in high demand for companies who need to send encrypted data over a network to avoid cyber spying and such like. In addition to this, with the introduction of GDPR the private user is much more aware of the protection of their data and information. VPN technology helps users protect their valuable data assets.

For a much more technical break down of what a VPN is take a look at this site here.

Benefits of Private Browsing with a VPN

1) Improved Security

A VPN has loads of different advantages and features to increase our online security and privacy when surfing the internet. When at home you probably wouldn’t need to use a VPN for most activities – especially if you have a good Wifi password and you know the people who are able to use it. If, however you surf the information from other locations such as a public Wifi network, using an VPN would have distinct advantages. Your real IP address would be kept safe and your location and your data would be encrypted by potential hackers.

VPN has a lot of advantages to increase our online safety and privacy when surfing the internet not just from hackers, government and telephony operator per DNS Leakage. However, if you surf the web from any location, we could always do without a VPN. But if you connect to a public WiFi network, doing so via a Virtual Private Network will be better. Your real IP address will be safe while masking your actual location and your data will be encrypted against potential intruders.

2) Cost

The cost of a VPN services has come down a lot in recent years. We offer our own service which starts from £5.49 per month (when purchased as an annual deal). Other services are available and each offers different speeds, locations, package tiers and the number of devices it can be used on simultaneously.

3) Remote Access

When using a VPN shows that your information can be accessed remotely from any location. This also allows  you to access your content if there is any restriction on the site, its is a good way to get around blocked sites within a region. Companies use VPN’s to allow workers who travel to various destinations to maintain their productivity.

4) Anonymity and Bypass Restrictions

If you are using a VPN, one can easily browse the internet entirely without being traced (to a point – there are methods in which it can be done). Because it acts on your whole internet connection all services can be browsed anonymously, for example torrent applications and applications that require specific location access to work.

Some companies have location based prices for their products. Airlines are a specific example of this. They may have cheaper tickets available if they are purchased in certain countries. By using a VPN you might be able to take advantage of this to get the cheapest airfare for holiday prices.
