What is a VPN and why it's important​

Some people still need some information to understand what a VPN is and why it’s important when it comes to cyber security, so I decided to give it a go and try to explain it in quite simple terms, as I understand it myself.

What is a VPN?​

VPN also known as a virtual private network is a service that creates an encrypted connection between the internet and your device (laptop, PC, phone, tablet, etc.). Your data is sent through this encrypted connection, which is private, to the VPN server and only then to the Internet. In simple terms, your data becomes so much more secure and makes it harder for someone to track what you’re doing due to the added layer of security.

How Does a VPN Work?​

A VPN has a few functions but these are the most important ones in my opinion:

• Encryption: When you use a VPN service, your internet traffic becomes encrypted, therefore making it very difficult for your data to be read by someone else.
• Data transmission security: The addition of the VPN makes your data more secure even when using public Wi-Fi networks that could easily be compromised.
• IP Address Masking: When you connect to the VPN, your IP address changes, making it seem as if you’re in a different country or location. This VPN feature masks your real IP address and makes your browsing or other experience much more private.

Why is a VPN Important?​

While it seems that it’s only a privacy focused service and for a reason, there are many specific cases when a VPN could be needed, to be more precise:

1. Privacy first. It's no brainer that the first and most important feature is privacy. Whether it’s keeping your data secure, avoiding being tracked or just helping your info and IP address a bit more private.
2. Public Wi-Fi security. They are easy to compromise and it’s easy to intercept data, as usually they don’t have any passwords or security, therefore a VPN could make it more difficult to intercept your data.
3. Geo restriction bypass. Some websites or services can restrict access to certain content if you’re in a different country, so to be able to secure your home content, a VPN can help access your usual local content.
4. Sensitive information access. Journalists, activists in restrictive countries need access to sensitive information, therefore it is important for them to have that added layer of security.
5. Bandwidth throttling avoidance. Some ISPs (internet service providers) can sometimes slow down your internet connection depending on your online activities, for example when streaming or downloading large files). A VPN pretty much hides what you are doing online from your ISP, making it near impossible to see what you’re doing.

Pang bypass yan para maaccess mo cornhub.

Dejk, maraming benefits ang VPN, halos lahat naman is nabanggit na sa taas, pero let me visualize it lol.

First is data encryption, since pag nagbbrowse tayo ng internet normally, may data information tayo na naglelead papunta sa device natin, isa na nga don yung ip address, so kapag nag VPN ka, one of its effect is magkakaroon ka ng different IP Address depende sa server ginagamit mo for VPN.

Second is to bypass yung blocked websites sa country natin, for example is yung mga cornsites nga na naka ban ng NTC dito sa Pinas, if mag VPN ka, maaaccess mo na yon, very useful to pag pumunta ka sa heavily strict na countries like China, since banned mostly ang western websites and app sa kanila, yung mga tourist nila need gumamit ng vpn para makapag fb.

Third is yung location, since VPN gives different location servers, usually gumagamit nito yung mga nag wowork from home pero in reality nasa ibang bansa, to fake their location kunwari nasa pinas pa din.

Anong magandang gamitin na VPN?
