VPN explained: A privacy primer -- with robots and race cars
2017-04-03
these days it could be hard to find a
little privacy online your every move is
tracked and sold by advertisers even the
company that you pay to give you
Internet service can sell your web
browsing history not to mention there's
the threat of hackers spying on you so
if you're tired of feeling like
strangers are watching your every move
you might be interested in VPN it stands
for virtual private network and it
routes all of your online activity
through an encrypted server so it can't
be spied on by others if the Internet is
an information superhighway let's say
you're this car on the road and this big
guy is the company that gives you the
Internet that could be free Wi-Fi at the
airport or the internet service you pay
for at home the internet provider
watches over and tracks where everyone
is going but when you use a VPN you're
travelling through a secret portal your
connection may be a little slower but
the Beast cannot see your destination it
can only see that you're in a VPN and I
should mention you will not be able to
do everything through a VPN Netflix is
known to block it someone without a VPN
leaves a record of every site they've
been to the apps they use what devices
they own and what time of day they
visited but with a VPN awesome a concede
is that the person has VPN now if you
use a VPN you need to be careful which
one you choose VPN companies can see all
your secrets so you need to find one
that you can trust a cheap service may
not deliver on the security they promise
and turn around and sell your
information behind your back we're all
looking for a little more security in
our lives but when it comes to using a
VPN it matters to find the right one
