There may be numerous reasons for using a VPN. Below is a few suggestions how a VPN may help you
- Enhanced Privacy and Anonymity
- A VPN hides your IP address, making your online activity more difficult to trace back to you.
- It encrypts your internet traffic, ensuring that your personal information, such as browsing history and login credentials, remains private from third parties (like ISPs, advertisers, and hackers).
- Prevents Bandwidth Throttling
- Some ISPs slow down your connection when you're using certain services, like streaming or gaming. A VPN can mask this activity from your ISP, potentially reducing throttling and allowing for a smoother experience.
- Improve Streaming Quality
- VPN can improve streaming quality by mitigating issues caused by internet service provider (ISP) throttling speeds. Some ISPs deliberately slow down internet speeds especially during peak hours. A VPN encrypts your traffic, making it difficult for the ISP to detect streaming activity and thus preventing throttling.
- Prevents Tracking by Streaming Platforms
- Streaming services may track your viewing habits for targeted ads or data collection. A VPN masks your IP address, reducing the ability of platforms to track your activity across sessions.
- IP protection
- VPNs can shield you from IP attacks, which are common in online targeted attacks. By masking your real IP address, a VPN can help mitigate these risks.
