Are You Sure That Your VPN Works?

With a virtual private network, there is a secure connection that is created between your device and the server you are connected to. Using a VPN has two significant advantages: total online privacy and the ability to access any website in the world.

Using a VPN hides the IP address of your router is not shown, rather, the IP address of the VPN server is made visible. None of your internet activity can be traced back to you. This provides you with total online privacy. In addition, your online activity is also hidden from your internet provider.

If you are using a VPN and you chose a server to connect to, the location of this server will determine what content you can access online. For example, if you connect to a server-based in the US, you will be able to access any American websites. This is advantageous because it allows you to access content that is blocked in your region.
