What is the VPN and 5 Advantages of Using a VPN

VPN is also known as a virtual private network, a way to access the web anonymously and secretly without exposing your IP address. It not only protects your real IP but also encrypts the network and encloses your data. This makes it one of the best ways to keep yourself safe from cyber attacks and data stealing. VPN services are provided by different companies and can be purchased online without any issues. Most of the VPN companies offer subscription-based plans which may vary in cost bandwidth and other aspects. Here are the top 5 benefits of using a VPN service.
1. Hides Your IP Address
VPN shows the fake or incorrect IP address of your system once enabled. If anyone tries to fetch your IP address to track our actual geographic location, then he won’t be able to do so with an IP address. The VPN program will display the IP address of another location for your system, and this will help you to keep yourself physically safe from baddies. Due to faking the IP address, your browsing activity will also be encrypted, and the other party won’t be able to know your online activities. 
2. VPN Safeguards Your Data While Using Public Network
Do you know that if you use public Wi-Fi connection at Cafes, Malls, Airports, and other public places, then your device data can be stolen through the connection? VPN stops others to access your device data by making a hidden tunnel for your device data. So from the nest time always enable a VPN when using the public networks especially outside.
3. Access Geo-Restricted Content
Do you know some sensitive and secured content might be blocked in your country or region? Sometimes the geo-restrictions can be from the government itself, and sometimes it can also be from the individual companies and servers. Some premium and high-quality VPN services allows users to mask the IP of various locations. That means even if the content is blocked in your country, you can use a VPN to switch your IP address to fool the geo-restrictions. With the VPN, the geo-restrictions can be bypassed very easily by choosing a different country or location where the content is accessible. 
4. Travel in Affordable Price
Do you know that most of the flight ticket vendors or brokers offer different prices for the same ticket according to geolocation? By enabling a VPN, one can easily compare the prices of the same ticket in different geolocations. So from the next time, whenever you plan to travel make sure to enable your VPN.
5. Your VPN Can Work with Any Connection
Once you bought a VPN plan, you can use it with your cellular plan, Wi-Fi, and even with public networks. Moreover, you can use it on various devices as well because most of the VBON providers offer multiple OS support.
