what is a vpn and why do you need it and why exactly this is the first thing you should
consider having to ensure your network security interested continue watching let's start with
the first part what is a vpn vpn a virtual private network allows you to create a secure connection
to another network or the internet in very simple terms a vpn connects your pc smartphone or tablet
to another computer called a server somewhere on the internet and allows you to browse the internet
using that computer's internet connection so if that server is in a different country it will
appear as if you're coming from that country and you can potentially access things that you
couldn't normally now any vpn operates using vpn protocols now what in the world are vpn protocols
vpn protocols are the methods by which your pc connects to the vpn server some protocols are
better for speed in for network security and some simply work better under certain network
conditions if that makes sense now popular vpn protocols in use as of today includes openvpn
ikea v2 lt2p ipsec pptp wireguard ssdp and others and different vpn providers use different vpn
protocols which makes them better for one purpose or another depending on your particular situation

top rate quality now how exactly does vpn help you and why do you need vpn great question you
can use vpn to access region restricted websites like netflix and hulu watch streaming tvs in
other countries shop online while abroad shield your browsing activities when on public wi-fi's
and thus protect yourself from hacking use local versions of different websites avoid detection
while researching the competition checking the results of your marketing campaigns if you are
an internet marketer save money on airline and not only airline tickets access geo-restricted social
media pretend that you're home while you're traveling and so on wouldn't you be excited
to use public wi-fi's and rest assured that you won't get hacked no big surprise these days vpns
are really popular but not for the reasons they were originally created for they were
originally created to connect business networks securely over the internet or to allow you to
access business network from home actually vpns are still widely used for this initial purpose
mostly in a tea industry this leads me to the types of vpns out there and the first one the
one you would be most interested in is commercial vpns a commercial vpn is also called personal vpns
or consumer vpns is a private service offered directly to individuals usually for a fee in
other terms commercial vpns cater directly to the privacy needs of their customers you can find some
of the examples of those commercial vpns in the description box below the second type of vpn i
have already mentioned and that is a corporate vpn a corporate vpn also called a business vpn
allows employees remote employees to access their company's networks while working from home as if
they were physically present in the office unlike the commercial vpns business or corporate vpns
are geared at providing security to the data of the company and not necessarily to individual
who cares they are not there to protect your privacy but rather the privacy of your company now
the third type of vpn is self setup vpn some tech experts and some diy hobbies choose to use their
own vpns using their own vpn equipment that is not only for individuals but also for the companies
who choose to establish their own vpn connection self-setup vpns however do not provide the
protection of shared ip addresses server locations in multiple countries or other features that are
widely enjoyed by users of commercial vpns you most probably would want to use commercial vpns
because a they have a lot of features that other vpns don't b you don't have to be a tech person
to set it up and c they're extremely easy to use now that we have talked about what a vpn
