You may want to use a VPN service for various reasons. Let’s say you are browsing the web and suddenly come across a site that failed to open due to geo-restrictions. At that time, you can connect to a VPN app and switch servers to unblock the site.

Other reasons for using a VPN include creating a secure connection over the internet, masking the IP address, encrypting your data, and eliminating a wide range of trackers from the web page.

While VPN is good and available for all platforms, have you ever wondered what a VPN is and how it actually works?

VPN is basically a Virtual Private Network that masks your Internet Protocol (IP) address. It hides your IP address and makes tracking difficult.
