VPN SERVICES

What is a VPN?

A VPN is an essential security tool for protecting your online privacy. Without a VPN, your internet activity can be easily intercepted and viewed by other people. This includes your browsing history, downloaded files, online banking details, and passwords.

When you’re connected to a VPN, your internet activity is encrypted and your real IP address is masked. No one can see who you are or what you’re doing, not even Internet Service Providers, governments, or hackers.

HOW SECURE IS A VPN?

Of course, for your device, it is 70% secure. VPNs secure your public internet connection by encrypting your information and shielding your online activity from cybercriminals and even your own Internet Service Provider.

When you use VPN software, your device connects to the VPN provider’s servers. Your internet traffic passes through the VPN’s internet connection, meaning your private information is cloaked from your ISP and websites so they can’t log your web browsing. As the VPN server mixes your web traffic with others on the server, your IP address appears to match the one associated with the VPN. These steps make it harder for others to monitor and gather information about where you go and what you do online.

WHAT ARE SOME OF ITS ADVANTAGES?

  • Enhanced security. …
  • Remote control. …
  • Share files. …
  • Online anonymity. …
  • Unblock websites & bypass filters. …
  • Change the IP address. …
  • Better performance. …
  • Reduce costs.
  • It is legal, but not always.

WHAT ARE SOME OF ITS DISADVANTAGES?

-That can be illegal in some countries.

-You can get a slower internet connection.

– You Might Have Performance Issues While Using The Private Network

THERE ARE MANY VPN SERVERS, SOME OF THEM ARE:

-SURFSHARK

Surfshark allows P2P and BitTorrent via VPN on certain servers, and the CleanWeb tool provides ad-blocking as well. … One such feature is Whitelister, a split-tunneling tool that routes app traffic or websites outside the VPN tunnel. Letting you whitelist websites is smart, since some sites block access from VPNs.

-ZENMATE

ZenMate creates a tunnel similar to a virtual private network (VPN) between your device and our Internet gateway. This secure tunnel prevents snoopers, hackers, governments and ISP’s from spying on your web browsing activities, sensitive personal information like credit card details or anything else you send over the network via your browser.

NORDVPN

One thing’s for sure: NordVPN’s SmartPlay feature really does work. It flies past geoblocks with ease and guarantees fast, high-quality streaming whether you’re connecting to a server nearby or on the other side of the world. In fact, NordVPN is one of the best VPNs for bypassing Netflix’s strict detection measures—it consistently outperforms other vendors in our tests.

CIBERGHOST

CyberGhost VPN allows you to surf the Internet freely as if in disguise, regardless of the type of application you use and from where you log in. It gives you the possibility to move around the Internet unrecognized by third parties, to visit forums and exchange information and files with other Internet users as well as to chat and receive emails without the feeling of being watched. 

-EXPRESSVPN

ExpressVPN offers access to more than 3,000 servers in 160 locations across 94 countries, alongside maybe the widest platform support you’ll find anywhere. All that functionality could sound intimidating to VPN newbies, but ExpressVPN does more than most to help.
