Top Reasons for using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) !

Whenever we want to access a particular website on the web, we make a request to the data center or to the server where that particular website resides so while doing so the request is going through our IP address only and after processing our request over server side we get a response from server and that particular website's home page get visible in our browser.

Now just imagine, what if someone is keeping an eye on our activity that what web sites are we visiting, where are we spending most of our time on the Internet, he/she can easily monitor you with the help of your IP address. Here comes the technology called VPN in the picture. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network that allows an individual to browse the web anonymously, VPN actually connects us to a Remote Location VPN server and after that whatever the request we send through our system goes through this VPN server and the connection between our computer system and the server is completely encrypted so it is far more secure than the traditional way of accessing the web. Whenever we get connected to a VPN server we get a random IP address that can belong to any random country and our actual IP address gets hidden.

I have already written an article on VPN before If you guys want to read that you can read it out here, cause In this article of mine I am going to list down the top and the most significant reasons for using Virtual Private Network.

Let us get started:

• Use Public Wifi more securely than ever: Most of the time when we visit a shopping mall or a hotel or some other place, where we tend to get free public wifi, what we simply do is get connected to the free wifi instead of thinking about our data security, It is known to all that a public wifi network is highly insecure and the connection is not encrypted at all, so if someone tried to hack into your phone via it, he/she can easily do it, so it is always advisable to first get connected to a personal VPN and then start surfing the web using Public Wifi, as once you get connected to a VPN your connection will get encrypted and it will save your data from someone's prying eyes.


• Sick off Restrictive network at School/College/Work break it out using VPN: It is seen and faced by most of us in our school and college days on even at our work place, when we try to visit some social networking sites or some other sites for entertainment purpose at our school/colleges or at our workplace, what we see is a restriction on these sites and we can not open these sites directly. So If you ever face this particular situation before don't you need to worry now as VPN is there to help you out, simply connect yourself to a Virtual Private Network as it will connect you to some random server with some random IP address and now you will able to break out all the restrictions and you will be able to access all of the sites using your workplace or school or college network.


• Secure your VOIP calls: Voice-over-IP (making phone calls via the Internet) is relatively easy to eavesdrop on. Even intermediate-level hackers can listen in to your VOIP calls. If you regularly use VOIP services like Skype, Lync, or online voice chatting, definitely consider implementing a VPN connection. Privacy is invaluable and it should not be compromised at any cost.


• Access restricted sites in your country: Countries like China, Afghanistan,Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc. have restricted number of websites from their country and in result to that people can not access these sites directly as their country have imposed a restriction on these sites as they believe accessing the enitie Web is not good for their country people. So If  you live any of such country where you don't have access to your favorite site then you can surely go for VPN and this will let you access the entire web with freedom, although you need to make sure that you are not breaching the rules of your country and make sure with your activities you are not hurting anyone.


• Don't let Search Engine record your searches:Using a VPN connection and after that performing search over the various search engines will make sure that you are having a private and encrypted search and the search engines won't be able to record your search.Incognito Mode is mostly used by many of the users, but it does not make you completely anonymous, in order to become completely private with your searches you should opt for VPN.
