What is a VPN?
A VPN encrypts your internet connection and routes it through a remote server, hiding your IP address and protecting your data from hackers, ISPs, or surveillance.
Common Uses of VPNs:
✔ Privacy – Hide your browsing activity from your ISP/government.
✔ Security – Protect data on public Wi-Fi (e.g., cafes, airports).
✔ Bypass Censorship – Access blocked websites in certain countries.
✔ Geo-Spoofing – Change your virtual location to access region-locked content (e.g., Netflix, Hulu).
Popular VPN Services:
- Free VPNs: ProtonVPN (limited free plan), Windscribe (10GB/month).
- Paid VPNs: NordVPN, ExpressVPN, Surfshark (better speed & security).
Things to Consider:
⚠ Logging Policies – Some VPNs keep logs of your activity (avoid these).
⚠ Speed – VPNs can slow down your connection slightly.
⚠ Legal Issues – Using a VPN may be restricted in some countries (e.g., China, Russia).
