Hello and Namaste Everyone

Recently while going through one of the article I got to know about VPN. I sometimes read articles online about various topics and it was related to vpn. VPN is the short form of Virtual Private Network and as the name suggests it's something that can create a personal network for us.

Its a new thing for me and I never used so I did some more research to know more about VPN and how it works.

What is a VPN?

A VPN, or virtual private network, is a secure tunnel between your device and the internet. VPNs protect you from online snooping, interference, and censorship.

Basically vpn is needed for us to keep our online credentials secure from the hackers and scamers. These days there are many ways adopted by scammers to loot the money. It's also helpful to access some sites that are blocked in any country.

I never used vpn because I wasn't aware however when I discussed with some of my friends then I got to know that they're using vpn to play tiktok and also PUBG. For a moment I thought that I am not so updated with technology but then realised that a need is also an opportunity to explore various things from technology. I don't play PUBG game so I never feel like finding the alternative way to access it.

Now coming back to the positive site that prevents us to safeguard our online presence of vpn is used. There are many vpn including free and paid however it's recommended to for paid version because freewares usually spy the data which is another threat.

This video is a nice tutorial that's easy to understand about VPN and how it works.

When you connect to the internet with a VPN, the VPN app on your device (also called a VPN client) establishes a secure connection with a VPN server. Your traffic still passes through your ISP, but your ISP can no longer read it or see its final destination. The websites you visit can no longer see your original IP address, only the IP address of the VPN server, which is shared by many other users and changes regularly.


After going through details of VPN I found that having a vpn is good option and those who work online should use it for their online information security. I am not going to buy any vpn soon but will give a try to some free vpn after going through reviews to ensure that they don't do the spy of data.

What's your thoughts and opinions about VPN an are you using it already?

Thank you so much.

hello @reeta0119 ,
one of the things to keep in mind when using VPN is that it makes your network slower, although it is a necessity to take care of your data, achieving privacy on the web is very difficult I would recommend you to be very aware of your email and the websites you visit, google incognito mode works very well to take care of your data.

Greetings friend. As you mentioned, I was only aware that it is used to access sites and platforms that are blocked for certain countries, as it generates another IP address, but as I contemplate reading it really has more benefits, especially as it relates to data security and privacy. Thanks for sharing.

Sometimes at work, I need to connect a VPN. And you know, there are different options. But if you are looking for something really good, I suggest you look here - https://switcherry-vpn.com/ . The most important criterion that I care about is a fast connection and anonymity of my connection. These points are fulfilled here. I sincerely advise you of this VPN!

I've actually been hearing alot about VPN though but I never knew there's actually more to it not until after reading your publication.

Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla and I hope you have a great day ahead ❤️💕💞

VPN as a field as a whole has evolved a lot lately. We need to keep an eye on this, because I believe that after a while we will all have to hide our data in order to keep it secure.
If you want to get closer to the services, I can leave an article at https://en.vpnwelt.com/review/ with an overview of the different services. I picked up a VPN for myself through these reviews.

Actually I generally don't use vpn as I am simply person and don't know how to use it. But it is simply to use. But using vpn block some of the apps to stop work that's why I don't use it.

Yeah it really helps in securing your private information especially for those who can't help but shop online and all. Informative piece

Hello friend, I think this has great benefits, with them you can access other applications from other countries, the truth I've heard a lot, I think it's a great idea, as long as it is done for purposes that are not fraudulent or cause harm to another person. Greetings.

Certainly, this can help us to protect us in online world. thanks for sharing nice comment.

It only works for countries restriction or restriction in general, it won't do anything against major hacks. Which one do u like?

Одним из преимуществ VPN является возможность шифрования данных. Шифрование или перевод данных в закодированный формат, чтобы их смысл был скрыт, позволяет сохранить конфиденциальную информацию в безопасности. На https://vpns-china.ru/vpn-na-kompiuter вы можете узнать больше.
