Gain Extra Online Security By Using a VPN

Security is something that we all know about, we all want but yet the majority of us take for granted and whilst we may look for suspicious emails and dodgy looking websites, we leave our selves open to public Wi-Fi hotspots, total strangers on social media and we only have limited protection on our home networks.

That is why so many of us unfortunately are hit by hackers, download malware, fall victim to phishing scams and suffer from identity theft.

With knowledge of these problems becoming more and more well-known and people’s fears often stirred by a media hell bent on a good story to sell, it has people, like you, asking the questions if I have a VPN will it prevent me from been hacked, stop me from getting a virus or malware and will it protect me from identity theft?

The short answer to all of those question is no and that is not because of any deficiency of a VPN but it is because no matter what software, hardware or anything else you have, there is no 100% guarantee of not been hacked of been infected with something.

Sadly, that is just a fact of life and any product or service that does guarantee it is something to be wary of.

What a VPN will do is encrypt any data that you input into your devices and/or upload to the internet.

That is a massive step towards not been hacked and from having details such as passwords, banking details, credit/debit card details, photos and anything other important information stolen and it will help to protect from the dangers of social media.

That is a huge step towards not suffering from identity theft and along with secure you against the danger of public WI-FI and the dangers of been tracked online, is where a VN excels and what makes a Virtual Private Network such an important tool to have in your arsenal against the dangers of the internet.
