VPN- Use The Internet Like A Professional! Get A VPN Now! VPN Explained!

     All of us know that privacy is just a myth today. If you are on the internet, then privacy is just a word that will never come true to its meaning. You hear news daily about big companies selling your data and small companies not even caring about it. And Hacking and Ransomware attacks are a daily thing. You are not safe on the internet and anyone can hack you and sell your data. All companies are tracking your moves on the internet and logging you in every time you visit a site, Sometimes its really for good things like keeping records, Analytics, and other information for various purposes. It can also be used for adverse things like blackmailing you, Stealing your data and spying on you. But, Is there a way you can come around on these things and browse the internet and use YouTube, FaceBook, and others safely?

     To understand how to stay safe and underground on the internet you need to know how they track you? It's actually how you use the internet and how the whole thing works. You search for a certain page on the internet, Your request is sent to the servers via your router and the server mentions your visit to the site in their records and then forwards the requested page again through the same route. And after this, you view the page you wished for and the same procedure goes on every time you request a new page. So, How do they track you? Well, They don't track you down by your Name, But by your IP Address. An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. So, It doesn't matter if you are using a Laptop or a Phone they can still track you down. You may be thinking that incognito mode is the answer to that. But, No, It actually just doesn't record history on your device, not the other way round. 

How the Internet Works Without VPN

     You can use a VPN, But what is a VPN, you may ask? A VPN is a loophole between you and the server. The definition of a VPN that is Virtual Private Networking is connecting a private network to a public network to enable users on the private network to send to and receive data from a shared or public network as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network. So, What does it actually do for you? It hides your IP address and displays the IP address of the VPN server instead and protects your privacy. It does so by being the middle person between you and the server. You search for a webpage on your device, It is forwarded to your router, But around this time your router sends the request to the VPN service and then the VPN service fetches the data and provides it to you without your IP address appearing in the records. Now that is really helpful in various conditions.

     The advantages of a VPN service are that most of the time you can select the country you want the server to be in. This comes in handy when you want to watch a video which is restricted or unavailable in your country. It is also helpful when you want to access confidential information or save some confidential information somewhere on the internet. You can also use it to prevent yourself from being hacked while using an Open WiFi Hotspot. There are some downsides to VPN services too. For example, It becomes harder for sites to maintain actually records which are necessary for various reasons. It takes time to access any page as it also depends on the VPN speed and the time it takes for the data to come from across the globe. And there are chances that your VPN service provider can sell your information allegedly. 

     While VPN service is a very useful feature if used ethically and correctly. There are many VPN providers, Both Free and Paid. We would suggest using a Paid services as it decreases the probability of anything going south. But, Certainly, don't use VPN for fun as it becomes harder for publishers to know their traffic and do the analysis. We wouldn't like it if you would visit our site with a VPN service. But, it's certainly in your hand to use it. That was our take on VPN services, What they can do and How they work. To know more about tech be sure to subscribe to Rohan Wayangankar's Blog.
