Using a virtual private network (VPN) connection will bring you two major results. The first benefit is that VPN will cloak and encrypt your information before transmitting between your device and the VPN server. This will protect your data and information from attackers or even government. The second benefit is that VPN will hide your real IP address, location, and country. This makes you appear to come from a different place like United State or the United Kingdom, depending on where the location of the VPN server is.



Depending on the quality of VPN service provider you use, it will slow down your Internet connection speed by 5% to 25%. However, there are many good reasons why you should use VPN to cloak your activities and hide your real IP address.



1. Acess Geo-Blocked Content Like Netflix From Outside The USA



For years, many people have used VPN to access and bypass geo-restrictions contents from many online stream media. Due to copyright agreements, companies like Netflix, Hulu, or Pandora can't broadcast all of their content outside of the USA. blogging is good for your That means users from outside the USA won't be able to watch many movies and TV shows.



By using the VPN service, you can manipulate your computer and change the IP address from your location to be a USA IP address. This will help you bypass restrictions of most media streaming sites. However, as I mentioned above, using a VPN will slow down your Internet speed up to 25%. So choose a VPN service provider that has a good speed is important. According to a discussion from PCGuide forum, a good VPN service usually costs you around $8 per month, for the high-speed plan and unlimited bandwidth. That's why you should choose a premium VPN service instead of using free VPNs.



2. Use Public Wi-Fi In Confidence



You may be unaware but most of the public Wi-Fi around you, includingStarbucks hotspot or hotel Wi-Fi isn't safe. There is no encryption security for users who use these public Wi-Fi hotspots. blogging is good for your A hacker with a few software and needed tools will easily intercept your unencrypted Wi-Fi signal and then exploit your personal information.



But if you use a public Wi-Fi network through a VPN connection, then all of your information will be encrypted before sending or receiving, and hidden from hackers. For this purpose, you can use many free VPNs out there, which will help you to maximum your security and protect your data from other people. You can also use Opera browser, which has a built-in VPN that will protect all information that you send or receive within the browser, like Ping News mentioned.



So if you are a traveler or regularly use public Wi-Fi, a VPN is a must-have thing.

However, with a VPN connection, you will easily bypass any limitations from the network administrator. Moreover, because you access the Internet through a VPN connection, all of your information will be encrypted, then the network administrator can't collect any details about your activities. I didn't recommend you to violate any rules of your school or at work, but if you feel you have right reasons for bypassing the network restrictions, then a VPN connection will be helped.
