VPN, whose full name is Virtual Private Network - whenever it comes to online security and privacy, VPN comes to the forefront. If you haven't lived in a primitive cave in the last few years, you may have seen VPN ads on various websites, in videos of your favorite YouTubers, in different places.
As time goes on, VPN companies are spending money like water on advertising and you and I are also taking VPN service with our eyes closed. However, as I said at the beginning, I did not write anything against any VPN company or the entire VPN service in this article. VPN is a really necessary thing, but I will discuss how much it will cost in 2020. So let's find out some extreme facts about VPN:
VPN stands for Military Security
VPN companies often mention in their advertisements that they provide military grade security. Your entire Internet traffic is encrypted and taken to the server through a secret tunnel. In the meantime, hackers or your ISP will not be able to decode your Internet packages even if you try. VPN really does this, encrypting data and transmitting it through secret tunnels, but it's nothing special. Because you may have noticed; When you enter almost any website including Google, YouTube, Gmail, a green lock sign appears in the address bar of the browser. This website is working using HTTPN protocol. Websites that are still following the HTTPS protocol can be easily viewed from your browser's address bar. 'No source' is written next to them. If you avoid those websites, the work is over.
VPN protects from ISP surveillance
Since each of your Internet traffic is sent to the ISP e-server, the ISP can easily monitor your entire Internet activity and create a profile on you. The ISP can then sell your private data to a third party company. If you use a VPN, your ISP will not know which website you are visiting or which video you are streaming.
VPN helps to unblock sites
This may be a valid reason to use VPN. These days many websites and online services are being blocked by the government in our country for no reason. Blogs like Reddit, Blogger.com, Google Cloud Domain, Medium are being shut down by the government without any reason. So VPN can be used to use these.
Or VPN is a good solution to unblock any online service that is not available in your country. However, VPN is not the only solution in this case. You can use proxies, tor, web proxies to do these things, if the price of the VPN seems too high to you and if there is no private work involved.
