A VPN creates a private tunnel for your internet traffic. Without one, your browsing is like a postcard — anyone handling it can read it.
What a VPN does:
- Encrypts your internet traffic
- Hides your real location from websites
- Stops your ISP from seeing what you browse
- Protects you on public WiFi
Do you need one?
If you use public WiFi, care about ISP tracking, or want extra privacy — yes.
