For a few bucks per month, this seems like a great idea, especially, if you\u2019re out for watching some Netflix. But before we jump into the VPN bandwagon, it might be a good idea to take a look at how the technology works, so we can make an informed decision, whether it\u2019s a good fit for what we\u2019re trying to accomplish.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How VPN works<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you connect to the Internet, your devices reach some type of access point &#8211; whether a Wifi hotspot or a home router. From there, each time you visit a website, you utilize your Internet Service Provider\u2019s (ISP\u2019s) servers to get to where you need to be. Most often, you utilize a server called DNS, or Domain Name Service. This service basically works as a \u201etranslator\u201d between the URL you typed in and the IP address of the server responsible for serving this domain. For example, when you type in \u201cgoogle.com\u201d, you actually reach 172.217.20.206.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, if all connections go through this server, the ISP can collect a wealth of data on your browsing habits, which they can later resell to advertisers. Moreover, when you make a spelling mistake while typing in a website address, the ISP can inject a page which will show you a notification that the website is unavailable and serve you ads at the same time. This, of course, is only one example of a possibility of monetizing through traffic. The possibilities are endless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you utilize a VPN service, on the other hand, your Internet connection works a bit differently in the background, while your Internet browsing stays relatively the same. After connecting to a WiFi hotspot or a cable network connection, you\u2019ll fire up a VPN Client, which is a piece of software that allows you to securely connect to a VPN server. Once the connection is established, all network traffic between your device and the VPN server is encrypted, thus becomes immediately illegible to your ISP. In fact, aside from the knowledge that you logged on to a VPN, the ISP cannot decipher any of your traffic. So far so good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"588\" height=\"203\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1489\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberforces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Simplified-outline-of-traffic-flow-when-viewing-a-website.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simplified outline of traffic flow when viewing a website<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"796\" height=\"202\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1491\" src=\"https:\/\/cyberforces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Simplified-outline-of-traffic-flow-when-viewing-a-website-through-a-VPN-connection.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Simplified outline of traffic flow when viewing a website through a VPN connection<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The other side of the coin<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your goal is to stay off the radar of ISP, a VPN service seems to be a good solution. However, the \u201etunneling\u201d aspect of VPN technology can have numerous downsides as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First of all, it\u2019s important to know that all of your traffic is channeled through one exit point. Therefore, where you gain privacy when it comes to being spied on by your ISPs, you enable the VPN provider to have the same access to your data, just on another end-point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, in regard to the above, it\u2019s a good idea to think about the VPN service as a \u201emiddleman\u201d between you and the Internet. If the VPN provider does not have a good track record, has malicious intent or gets hacked, all of your traffic is subject to their discretion. As such, you should be really careful when accessing sensitive data over an unknown VPN connection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third, having access to a VPN server in a different country does not necessarily guarantee you the access to geo-blocked content. Since one server is shared between dozens, hundreds or even thousands of users at once, service providers such as Hulu or Netflix can easily spot and block access from these servers. Moreover, it\u2019s in the interest of the content provider to block access to their websites from VPN servers, as utilizing a VPN to access content in another country is a basic circumvention of their service agreements.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VPN: Facts and myths<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VPN is a very useful service. It can help you circumvent censorship and geoblocking, blocks your ISPs from spying on you, and, in certain situations, can help you avoid intrusive, geolocation-based advertisements. However, when it comes to staying completely off-the-radar, a VPN service can track you just as well as any ISP can. Moreover, claims that VPN makes your computers secure when accessing unsecured WiFi networks (networks without a password, such as municipal WiFi hotspots) are somewhat misleading.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After you connect to the Internet, by using any Internet access point (such as secured or unsecured WiFi) you establish a connection with a particular website you\u2019re trying to visit through a web protocol. Most modern websites utilize the HTTPS protocol, especially on login pages. (Whether we\u2019re using HTTP or HTTPS is easy to spot: first of all, you have \u201ehttps:\/\/\u201d in the URL when we\u2019re on an HTTPS site, and secondly, your browser usually display a lock icon). HTTPS is an encrypted protocol and as such, whether you\u2019re using HTTPS over an unsecured network or through VPN, it makes very little difference security-wise.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Quick Q&amp;A<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This all can seem a bit confusing, so here are some Frequently Asked Questions and answers, which really cut to the point:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Does <\/b><b>a VPN block my ISP from seeing which websites I visit?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yes. Since all traffic is encrypted from the moment you establish a VPN <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">connection, your ISP can only see streams of seemingly random data.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Does using a VPN service guarantee my privacy online?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> No. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, the VPN provider has access to similar information as your <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ISP normally would, as all connections go through their servers. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secondly, there are numerous factors that contribute to improving privacy on the Internet, such as browsers, and operating systems, ways you connect to the Internet, cookie files, your behaviors online and much more.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can a VPN help me access content not available in my country?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Generally, yes. If the VPN provider has a server located in your country of interest, you can most likely access the content you\u2019re looking for, provided that the content provider has not blocked that particular server.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Does a VPN service make my computer more secure when using unsecured Wifi?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not necessarily. As most websites utilize the encrypted HTTPS protocol (especially on login pages), whether you\u2019re using the VPN or not makes very little difference. However, in cases of malicious WiFi networks set up by hackers for the sole purpose of data gathering (so-called \u201ehoneypot networks\u201d), a VPN service can help you stay secure by encrypting our traffic.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can a VPN make my internet connection faster?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No. The overall speed of our Internet connection is mostly based on the throughput of your local connection. As such, regardless of what the <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VPN service is advertising, the speed of your connection will be capped by the speed of your access point. It\u2019s important to notice, however, that VPN servers tend to be shared by numerous users at once, ranging from dozens to hundreds or thousands of users at once. When a VPN server is overloaded it can greatly slow down your Internet browsing experience.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Can a VPN service help keep my computer virus-free?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not really. There are many factors that contribute to a virus-free environment, such as defensive online behavior habits, software and operating system updates, as well as using antivirus software. <\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Pirated content: can a VPN service hide my identity from authorities?<\/b><b><br \/>\n<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most likely not. Any legitimate VPN company operates as a business entity within some type of jurisdiction. As a legal entity, these companies are required to hand over data to authorities in certain situations \u2013 such as during requests made by a court order. Some VPN companies may be registered in a country with lax intellectual property laws, however, dealing with a business entity registered in a foreign country can be a gamble.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choosing a VPN provider<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve decided to go ahead with purchasing a VPN service for private use having read thus far, here are a few things to keep in mind while choosing the right provider.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, make sure you trust the provider<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Given that all of your traffic will be tunneled through one service, it\u2019s important to be ensured that your browsing data will not be measured, stored, correlated, logged or accessed by any other party. As such, it\u2019s a good idea to read the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy, as dreadful as this task may sound. Don\u2019t fall for advertising pitches \u2013 unlike a contract (which is TOS in this case), these aren\u2019t necessarily binding. Another good idea is to check up on what the current users are saying on Internet forums, and have a keen eye on any posts which may come from marketing departments of VPN companies.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second, check the number of servers available, their connection speed, load average, and uptime<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As VPN providers can have dozens or even thousands of users simultaneously connected, server speed and their availability might be severely impacted. Not all VPN providers are created equal, and checking up on the actual speed of the servers beforehand might save you a headache later on.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last, but not least, check the actual locations of the VPN servers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since VPN companies usually have dozens of servers, it\u2019s a good idea to check up on where the server is located, to make sure that you\u2019ll have access to the content you\u2019re seeking. Moreover, the location of servers can have a big impact on data privacy, as some certain countries (especially those in Europe at the moment) have better government-mandated data protection laws.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In sum<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VPN technology has been around for quite some time. In the business world, it has been used extensively, enabling those working from home or in travel to securely connect to their office environments. Most recently, the technology has made some appearances as a consumer-oriented product. In the post-Snowden and data-mining business era, a VPN service can greatly improve your privacy, provided that it\u2019s benefits are aligned with your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anyone using YouTube lately has probably seen the all-prevalent ads: if you purchase a private VPN service, you\u2019ll be safe online: your traffic will be fully encrypted, your ISP will not track you, on top of that, you\u2019ll get access to content otherwise blocked in your country.
