A must have VPN for all
Tashi Delek Everyone,
Today I am going to share with you all some information regarding VPN.
What is VPN ?
According to wikipedia, “A virtual private network, also known as a VPN, is a private network that extends across a public network or internet. It enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.”
What is the uses?
Many people use VPN to protect their wireless transactions (specially using public wifi hotspot like Cafe etc.) and some people use it to circumvent the Geo-Restriction or to Access blocked websites. If we use it well, it can help us to anonymize our identity which means, it helps to hide our IP (Internet Protocol) address and MAC (Media Access Code) and many more informations which we usually not aware of, from the twisted minded people (or Hacker). Most of the time, we use VPN to browse the blocked websites. For example, when I was in college, Facebook was blocked so I use VPN to access it.
Difference between Free VPNs versus Paid VPNs:
Free VPN:
Pros:
- You don’t have to pay a dime.
- It will serve your purpose to some extend.
Cons:
- Feature is limited.
- They sell your data.
- You don’t have privacy.
- You have to create new email IDs when the trial gets expired.

My Take on Free VPNs: Free VPNs are either shady or functionalities are too limited.
Paid VPN:
Pros:
- You can get any IP address of your preferred country. (most has it)
- You will get access to full features.
- Easy and convenient to use.
- Can use on more than 5 devices.
- It will serve your purpose completely.
- Most of it don’t keep your logs (browsing records). For example NordVPN
- Privacy and Security is good.
- Hassle Free etc..
Cons:
- You have to pay. (but you can get the service at very nominal price)
My Take on Paid VPNs: A decent VPNs just cost you equivalent to a one time meal at a good restaurant. (I don’t mean to be a flamboyant here, trust me)
