#do i need vpn

Unless you use a VPN, you are very vulnerable to hackers who can easily set up fake but convincing hotspots. When you’re out traveling and need to access content from your home country, without a VPN, your private data aren’t safe either. And when you’re “torrenting” (which we don’t recommend) without VPN, you don’t only leave tracks but you become susceptible to malware from some torrent sites. So I’m telling you this, you’re unsecured online, and this is why you should have a VPN installed. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and from the name itself, it should provide you a private, anonymous, and safe way to connect to the internet by creating a private network from a public internet connection. To do this, VPNs masks your internet protocol (IP) address, making it seem like you’re at a different location. It works like this: When you connect to a VPN, it uses encryption to scramble your data—transforming it to an unreadable code as it travels between your computer and the server of the VPN. This makes your device recognized as being on the same local network as your VPN, so your IP address will be perceived as the IP address of your chosen geolocation provider’s servers.
