I think most of the readers are excited about this one because every time when we search anything in the browser, at least once this word VPN must be displayed. All those time lots of questions are running our minds but due to the work, we just ignore that. Same like that I will also do the same but today I going to explore this one. So the basic reason for this one is to know what it is.
I think the
following question comes into our mind:
- What is VPN?
- Why are there is a lot of ads are displaying about this one?
- Why do we need it?
- How it works?
- And finally what are the pros and cons of VPN?
These entire
questions are answered here. Start with the first question what is VPN.
Basically VPN
means Virtual private network that can be used to send and receive the data in
a secure way, which means it creates a tunnel between the sender and receiver,
so the unauthorized user can’t access your communication channel. I think the
answer to the first question is clear right. Next, we are going to move on to the
working process. The working process of VPN is a very simple one that is a VPN
using tunneling protocols to encrypt data at the sending end and decrypt the
appropriate content on the receiving end. The originating and receiving network
addresses are also encrypted to provide better security for online activities.
In this
process, VPN can hide the user’s browser history, IP address, and location, web
activity, and device being used, which now you’re in a secured channel, so even
your smartwatch can’t detect your smartphone while using VPN, for example, it
looks like pranking someone but it is a real one.
I think
through the above all the things now you can understand where and why it is
used on the internet. So, it’s time for us to know the advantages and
disadvantages of VPN.
The major
advantages of VPN are listed as follows:
- The ability to hide the user’s details from unauthorized users.
- Secure connection with encrypted data
- It makes difficult for the advertiser to target individual aids
The limitations
of VPN services are as follows:
- Not all devices are supported VPN
- May slow down the internet speed
- What we have to do if these fall on the wrong hand
- Doesn’t protect all types of threat
Here we have
one doubt while using the VPN, we want to transfer one important file but you
think that some hackers try to hack your channel. If they gain access then what
about the security? For that situation, the VPN uses the kill switch to break
the connection and make it impossible for unauthorized users to gain
access. That sounds good right. But this same will apply to the wrong one also.
So wrapping
up all the things, I have explained it according to my knowledge if you found
anything wrong, and then let me know through the comments section.
