VPN stands for Virtual private network. It is used to mask you IP address while you are browsing the internet. VPN protects your internet traffic and hides you from others. It makes difficult for third party websites and apps to collect your data while you are browsing.
How does it works?
If you know little about the internet you must have an idea about that every device that is connected to the Internet has a unique IP address it looks something like this [179.194.152.54] 11 digit number. you are identified by your unique IP address on the Internet so if someone is looking for you on the Internet means he/she is looking for your IP address and once he/she finds you, they can connect with you.
VPN is used to hide that IP address and they do so by configuring your IP with their own remote servers, so these servers becomes their primary source of data. That means no one can find you even not your ISP and when you visit any website they won’t be able to collect your data.
Why we use VPN?
A VPN masks you on the public domain means whatever you do people won’t recoganise you. VPNs are mostly used by companies for secure connections for their data protection but it has wide variety of uses.
Access the blocked sites:
You have heard it many times that certain website or content is not available in certain region you can access it simply with the help of VPN. Once you connect to the VPN you can set your location anywhere in the world for example you live in France and you have to watch Netflix series which is banned in France you can simply change your location to Canada where it is available to watch. Don’t get the wrong idea that you have to travel to different locations VPN will do everything for you by masking your IP address.
