FAQs:
What is a VPN and how does it work?
A VPN is a piece of privacy software which enables you to connect to a website or service securely and anonymously via your computer device or mobile phone.
What would I need a VPN for?
VPN’s are most often used to provide a better level of online privacy and protect your personal data while browsing the web or using internet enabled services. They can also help protect you against attacks, hackers or viruses.
A VPN is especially useful when you are using a public wifi or connecting within a public environment like university or a workplace where a VPN can provide a lot more security.
How do I connect to a VPN?
Once installed, most will have a single click function to turn the VPN on and off. Other options may be to select which country or city you wish to appear from or features like a kill switch.
What’s the difference between free vs. paid VPN’s?
We wouldn’t recommend a free VPN for anyone serious about security. The simple fact is that these VPNs cost a lot to develop and maintain. To hire scientists and mathematicians, programmers and developers is all rather costly!
Free VPNs may come with browsing limits, very few country options or even time limits! Best not to compromise your personal data and security with a free VPN, stick to our paid recommendations.
