Protect your privacy from hackers, spies, and the government

Protect your privacy from hackers, spies, and the government
When comes to online privacy, one of the most important layers of security to implement is the use of a virtual private network (VPN) if accessing a public Wi-Fi hotspot -- and the use of a trustworthy VPN should be implemented across all your devices, no matter your connection type. @qwer!#$123
VPNs: Why, when, and where?
A virtual private network is a way to create a secure tunnel through the inherently insecure internet. Data packets are encrypted before they are sent to a destination server, which also results in IP addresses and your location becoming hidden. Many VPNs will also include a 'kill switch' that cuts off your internet access temporarily if connections drop in order to keep your online activity secure.
VPNs have now entered the mainstream. Many users will only adopt these services to access geolocation-blocked content -- such as websites and apps banned in select countries -- for example, a user in the United States could make themselves appear to be located in the United Kingdom, and vice versa.
However, VPNs have also surged in popularity in response to increased surveillance, making their use a popular option for activists or those in countries ruled by censorship.
VPNs are not a silver bullet for security; far from it, but they can help mask your online presence. It is worth noting, however, that VPN usage is banned in some countries.
FREE VS. PREMIUM VPNS
Premium, paid services are often more trustworthy. Free options are often slower and will offer limited bandwidth capacity. VPNs cost money to run and so providers will also require users of free services to agree to alternative means for them to turn a profit -- and this may include tracking and selling your data.
Remember, when you are using a free service, whether it's a VPN or Facebook, you are the product and not the customer.
WHICH VPN SHOULD I USE?
The most important element to consider when deciding on a VPN is trust. Using a VPN requires all your traffic to go through a third-party. If this third-party VPN is unsecured or uses this information for nefarious reasons, then the whole point of using a VPN for additional privacy is negated. VPN download
