What is VPN ?
The term “Virtual Private Network,” or VPN, refers to the possibility of creating a secure network connection when utilizing public networks. VPNs mask your online identity and encrypt your internet activity. This makes it more challenging for outside parties to monitor your internet activity and steal data. Real-time encryption is employed.
How does a VPN work?
By allowing the network to route your IP address through a specifically set-up distant server operated by a VPN host, a VPN can conceal your IP address. In other words, if you use a VPN to browse the internet, the VPN server becomes the source of your data. As a result, neither your Internet Service Provider (ISP) nor other parties will be able to see the websites you visit or the data you transmit and receive online. A VPN acts as a filter that “gibberish's” all of your data. Even if someone were to obtain your data, it wouldn’t be useful.
What should a good VPN do?
- Encryption of your IP address
- Encryption of protocols
- Kill switch
- Two-factor authentication
