11 reasons you should use VPN

Virtual private networks are affordable, easy to use and are an important component in setting up computers and smartphones. Along with firewalls and anti-malware / anti-malware solutions, you should install VPN so that every moment you online is completely private.

1. Browse the web safely on public Wi-Fi networks

Using public Wi-Fi has security risks without VPN:

1. Your browser is not encrypted and everyone can obtain unencrypted radio waves.

2. Malware from a laptop in the cafe can find its way to your device via the router.

3. Free Wi-Fi is a trap, this could be a fake Internet connection.

One thing to keep in mind is that legitimate free public Wi-Fi always requires the user's personal information to register. This is data that can be used to track you. When installing VPN, you will overcome all three problems. In short, installing VPNs on laptops, tablets or smartphones allows you to use public Wi-Fi networks securely.

Instead, use a VPN and specify a 'local' server. Most VPNs often have dozens, if not hundreds of servers, for you to securely connect and route data through it. These servers are available all over the world, so a computer in New York can connect to servers in the UK and you can watch the programs there.
