Get IPVanish VPN to Protect Data While Transferring Across The Web

2 comments
Protecting confidential data is a challenging task, especially when you’re using a public Internet connection to transfer data.  In fact, using public Internet connections and wifi hotspots exposes all of your online activity and confidential information to any would-be hackers.  Simply put, all of your information can be sniffed with specialized software at anytime and without your knowledge.

TIP:Lock Down Your PC With Your USB Flash Drive 




A Virtual Private Network, or VPN, protects you from these threats.  By setting up a VPN connection, all of your online traffic will flow through an encrypted  ‘tunnel’ through your public internet connection that shields you from any 3rd parties.  In fact, not even your ISP can see what traffic is flowing through your connection..  VPN services encrypt and encapsulate the private network traffic and moves it through the public network.  Anyone without the right decryption key have no way of gaining access.  When you use the public Internet alone, you’re completely exposed.

Besides making your web presence anonymous, there are other benefits of using a VPN service.  Most notably is the ability to use your VPN connection to get around geo-IP restrictions put in place by your local ISP or network administrator to access.  For example, by adopting one of thousands of available IP addresses from many different countries of your choosing, you can appear to be in a location on the other side of the world from your actual location.  This allows you to access sites like Facebook that may be blocked in your school or office.  You can also use it to access sites like Hulu, Pandora  and P2P sites that are blocked in many countries.

If you’re interested in learning more about why people are using VPNs, check out this Why VPN page by IPVanish VPN:

Which VPN Service Should I Use?
I recommend IPVanish as it’s the fastest VPN in N. America and Europe, has a reliable and secure service, and is popular in the industry.  At its core, IPVanish is a network company with over 10+ years of expertise.  IPVanish knows how to move massive amounts of data across the globe fast and securely, which explains why IPVanish is consistently the fastest VPN, by far, in N.
