What is a VPN?

VPN (Eng Virtual Private Network -. Virtual Private Network) - the generalized name technologies to provide one or more network connections (logical network) over another network (eg the Internet).

First of all, VPN is used when organizing remote access to corporate resources - namely, to ensure safety of such compounds. However, the technology of virtual private networks went beyond the corporate sector, and appeared VPN-providers who provide routing services through its servers located in different parts of the world.

If you explain in simple terms, the VPN - is when over your existing Internet connection rises another: an encrypted tunnel between your computer and the server of the provider, which provides you the VPN service. Thus all your traffic goes through the tunnel. That is, the VPN server - it is what stands between your computer and the website or online service to which you are applying. At the destination site, you get to have the server IP-address through which you are connecting.

At the same time the connection between your computer and the VPN-server can be compared with the steel pipe, inside of which can not "see" any attackers who want to steal valuable information or your ISP, or government bodies that control Internet providers. I visited the same site you will "think" that you are in the country, which is the VPN-server through which you connect to the Internet.

What is a VPN for?

1. To gain access to forbidden sites

Increasingly, governments block access to various Internet resources. Most of these locks are justified, but, alas, not all. Often sites are blocked for political reasons. Sometimes because of the failure to block an individual page on a good site, block the entire site, and sometimes just a particular site is blocked by mistake.

2. To protect your Internet connection

If you are working on your laptop, tablet or other device with important data, the desire to protect this data makes sense. To protect data you must when using public access points Wi-Fi (such as at airports, cafés or hotels), and just retreating from likely attention from the employees of your ISP or law enforcement officials.

Also, having some knowledge, an attacker could create a fake WiFi network and you connect to it, will give him all of your important data. However, if you connect via VPN your information is protected, no matter what Internet connection you are using.

3. Hide your real IP address

As is known, knowing the IP address, you can apply to the provider, to determine exactly who and where he visited the site, which was selected at the entrance to the site. Agree, not always want to introduce myself by visiting the websites. It's like buying in a regular store to show your passport.

4. To get access to foreign services that are not available from your country of residence

There are a lot of great services "Amazon Instant videos", "Lovefilm", "Netflix", "Spotify" and others. To use them, you must have the IP address of the country in which permitted the use of this service.
