VPN work explanation
How does a VPN work technically?

When you have found a reliable VPN provider like us, you can download and install their software. Then you select your preferred security settings and set up a safe connection with your desired VPN server. When the connection has been established, the following will happen to your data traffic:


1. The VPN software on your computer encrypts your data traffic and sends it to the VPN server through a secure connection.

2. The encrypted data from your computer is decrypted by the VPN server.

3. The VPN server will go on the internet with the decrypted data and will receive all traffic sent back, which is meant for the user.

4. The traffic is then sent back to you (the user) after the VPN server encrypts it.

The VPN connection will encrypt your data traffic, making it much more difficult for hackers or governments to intercept and view it.


The secure connection also provides the user with anonymity because your internet traffic is rerouted through an external VPN server. Because you are surfing the web via the IP address of the VPN server your own IP address will stay hidden.


Normally your location and even your identity could be revealed through your IP address because it is unique to your internet connection. By using a different IP (the one assigned to the VPN server) none of your actions online are traceable to you using your IP address and you can now cruise the web more anonymously and secure.


The VPN application will run in the background of your computer, tablet, or smartphone. You can access the internet as you normally do and you won’t notice anything different.
