What is a VPN and Why is Its Use Recommended?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology that allows users to create a secure and private connection to the internet. It works by creating an encrypted tunnel between your device and the VPN server, making it impossible for third parties (such as ISPs, hackers, advertisers, or even government surveillance systems) to monitor your online activities.

 

Benefits of Using a VPN

  • Privacy Protection – A VPN hides your real IP address, and with it, your geographic location.

  • Data Encryption – All traffic between your device and the internet is encrypted, making it unreadable even if intercepted.

  • Secure Use of Public Networks – VPN is crucial when connecting to public Wi-Fi in hotels, cafés, or airports.

  • Access to Restricted Content – VPN enables access to websites and services that are geo-restricted, such as specific videos or websites unavailable in your country.

 

When Should You Use a VPN?

Using a VPN is recommended in the following situations:

  • When connecting to public wireless networks.

  • When you want to protect your online activities from prying eyes (e.g., while working remotely).

  • When accessing sensitive data, such as online banking.

  • When bypassing censorship or geographic content restrictions.

 

How Does a VPN Protect You?

A VPN creates a secure tunnel through which your internet traffic flows. External observers cannot see what websites you visit or what data you exchange. In addition, a VPN prevents tracking of your online behavior, since websites only see the VPN server's IP address - not your real one.

 

VPN as Part of Antivirus Protection or a Standalone App?

VPN can be either a standalone application or integrated into a broader security suite, which may also include antivirus protection, browser safety, firewalls, and more. Using a VPN within an antivirus package provides a unified security dashboard and tighter integration for complete protection.
