VPN is the technology used by most commercial companies around the world to secure communications between branches and access to corporate resources. VPNs are also used by government, military and municipal institutions.

This technology and VPN services themselves are absolutely legal in all countries of Europe, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Kazakhstan, USA, Canada, Brazil, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia, Australia and many others.

Restrictions are imposed in some countries on the VPN services themselves, but not on their customers and users. These countries include China, Iraq, Iran and Turkmenistan.

There are a lot of VPN services, but the main division is paid and free. Paid ones exist on funds received from clients, therefore they make every effort to protect their interests and personal data. It is safe to use such services. Additionally, when choosing a VPN service pay attention to the length of its existance, reviews of independent websites, media publications and opinions of industry experts.

Free services exist thanks to displaying ads, transferring information about customers to advertisers, selling their traffic and personal data to third-party companies. Free services can be dangerous. If you dare to use them, carefully study their privacy policy, user agreement and independent reviews.

Detailed research about free VPN services.

VPN provides the level of protection that every user on the internet should have, but ISPs either don't want to do it or simply can't afford the extra costs. It's also important that your internet is protected by a third-party overseas company rather than a local ISP, which does not have the authority to completely hide your data.

A VPN has many advantages over a basic internet connection:

• Your IP address is hidden and changed to the address of an anonymous VPN server. This server may be located in another country of your choice.

• Changing the country for internet access opens access to content that is not available from the current location.

• All websites on the internet stop receiving data about your real location and address.

• All transferred and received data is encrypted without a possibility of its interception by intruders.

• The internet provider can no longer see and store information about what you do on the internet.

• You get better prices for online services, ticket purchases and hotel reservations because you can choose the country for which there are discounts.

• You protect your internet activity from intruders when using public Wi-Fi.

• If your provider or network administrator has restricted access to any resource or messenger, you will restore access to it after connecting to the VPN.

Every user needs a VPN, either continuosly or periodically, due to regular restrictions and manipulations by iinternet providers, governments, advertisers and the activity of cybercriminals.
