VPN Tips



Ever wanted to use a VPN but wasn't sure if it was necessary?

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, allowing a user to send or receive information as if they were connected to an encrypted private network.

A VPN has several practical uses:
  • Security on public networks.
  • Access region-restricted content.
  • Anonymity by hiding your true location.

If any of these uses sound right to you, you may be one who would benefit from VPN use. There are dozens of free or paid options for VPN providers. Here are some ones I trust and their features:

Windscribe: Free up to 10gb/month, premium plans starting at $4.08/month, additional features listed on website.

PureVPN: First year is $3.33/month, fast, secure, no logs kept, additional features listed on website.
