Benefits of a VPN

There are countless benefits of using a VPN. Some of the most common are listed below.

Replace Your Original IP With A Hidden One

When VPN was first designed, the sole purpose of the invention was to create a tunnel between distant computers for remote access. And, it was successfully achieved. But later on, VPN was more commonly used to switch between different locations IPs. Till to date, the sole purpose of a VPN is protecting the original IP of its user by simply hiding it with one of its own servers.

In simple words, when we connect to a VPN, our original IP (assigned by the Internet Service Provider) is replaced by one of the VPN servers’ IP. For example, if your ISP assigned you an IP of London (as you are in London) 1.142.35.6 and when you connect to a USA server via VPN your IP will change to 2.354.452.2. This way your original IP will remain hidden and your ISP can’t see any of your online activities.

Encrypts Your Data

VPN is the best tool to encrypt your internet traffic. When you send data via the internet it travels in forms of packets. These packets can easily be intercepted by anyone using simple tools available on the internet. Take the example of an open letter. If you drop the letter in the post box without closing it in an envelope then what will happen? Anyone who can have hands on it, will read it. But if you drop the same letter, perfectly closed in an envelope, then nobody can read it. Encryption is like envelope for your online communication.
