Why use a VPN?
A VPN is an essential component of your online life, no matter who you are. These people know the benefits of a VPN:
The on-the-go business professional
For the modern business professional, working while at the airport, in a cafe, or back in the hotel is a fact of life. However, public Wi-Fi connections are usually unencrypted, which means hackers and identity thieves can potentially gain access to valuable personal and company data.
A VPN encrypts your data and keeps it out of the wrong hands, allowing you to work safely and securely no matter where you are.
The privacy-conscious user
What you do online should be your business alone. Unfortunately, almost all internet service providers keep logs of browsing history, and some even sell them to third parties for profit. Governments in some countries also actively monitor and regulate the browsing habits of netizens.
A VPN helps to prevent third parties from seeing your usage data, allowing you to enjoy the internet your way.
The leisure traveler
Enjoying a well-deserved vacation and want to share your memories with friends and family? Many travelers are surprised to find that their preferred social media channels are blocked at their travel destination, making it difficult to stay in touch with loved ones while they’re away.
A VPN enables you to use social media wherever you are, with the added peace of mind that comes from knowing your online traffic is always encrypted.
