VPN protecting data

Is online security a concern for you? Do you wish you could access websites from all over the world? Then you need a VPN!

A VPN encrypts your connection and provides you with an anonymous IP to protect your privacy. Your IP address (the number assignated to you device to access the Internet) gives information about your location. It’s what makes websites appear in your language for example. However, it also gives hackers and snoopers access to your personal data.

So what are the advantages of using a Virtual Private Network?

  • It prevents people from seeing who and where you are.
  • It boosts your security when you’re on an untrusted network.
  • It protects your personal data from prying eyes.
  • It secures your online payments.
  • It allows you to watch videos usually unavailable in your country and have an unrestricted access to them.

All you need to do is open the VPN program and  choose from a list of servers (countries) anywhere in the world: once connected, you will appear as being located in this country. The websites data will be received by the server you’re connected to  and  will  be forwarded to your real location.
