The Internet, where on one hand it provides valuable information, becomes highly vulnerable when it comes to security and confidentiality. I emphasize online safety and anonymity in this article, and working around that is very effective for us and our family.

Every day we hear stories of “unknown IP” port scans and attacks on personal computers that are not well protected, or even if they are protected, you don’t even want to see the access attempts in your logs, why should anyone try to access your PC? ?. In such a case, there are work rounds that could ensure anonymity and security online. We recommend VPN connection to hide our real IP behind other IP servers and gateway.

What happens is that you dial into any of the multiple servers that are provided with a VPN account, once connected, all your internet-linked traffic goes through that server. So it’s like the server IP is getting the data you want and passing it to you on the back end, all in real time of course. Thus, you hide your real IP and protect yourself. You don’t feel any kind of problem or hindrance while connected with virtual private network setup, and it feels like you are browsing through your own default internet gateway. Internet speed is almost the same and you have the option to connect to the server that offers the best speed.

Apart from security, the VPN prevents all kinds of spying. Your ISP may be spying on you and logging all your activities, but you certainly don’t want anyone knowing where you go and what you do when you’re online. So once connected, the ISP doesn’t see your online activity. Even when you participate in open online discussions, blogs, etc., there is always a chance that someone might know your identity, but again a VPN account comes to your rescue!
