What is VPN and why you should use it?

19:07 12 August 2018

VPN, which stands for Virtual Private Network, is a tool that you can use to make your online browsing private. It is used by millions of people around the world as it helps enhance safety while surfing the web and at the same time, get access to content that they may otherwise not be able to get to.

 

Using a VPN, you will not need to share your IP address with a website. Thus, if the content that you want to access is only offered in the UK but you would like to access it while you’re traveling to other parts of the world, VPN can help you make that happen.

 

VPN also keeps you safe when you’re accessing the web through a public, unsecured Wi-Fi network. Without a VPN, hackers may be able to steal your data.

 

Many online companies are now offering VPN services with a monthly cost of around £2. You will be able to use it as long as you have a laptop or smartphone phone that is connected to the internet.
