What is VPN?

VPN service or Virtual Private Network is a type of discrete network or a group of computers working together over the Internet. Initially, VPN was designed to address the problem of secure connecting to corporate networks to allow employees to work remotely with headquarters.

How a VPN Works

A VPN service utilizes a special technology with powerful encrypting protocol to establish a virtual channel between two selected computers or networks. Imagine a temporary tube, like a tunnel, that accommodates your super-secret confidential talk with your friend. A tunnel is created for a sole purpose for the two to have the most secure conversation ever. As soon as you are done, the tunnel dissolves as it is temporary.

  1. Client downloads VPN app on selected device (Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, iOS or Android).
  2. The device sends a signal to a selected global VPN server ( a list of 25 servers is currently available in our app).
  3. Instantly, a virtual tunnel for secure Internet connection is created to start a session.
  4. When the session is finished, the encryption tunneling disappears.

VPN Service In-Depth

  • When tunneling is established, VPN service exchanges a set of symbols commonly referred to as encryption key.
  • The traffic send over the private channel is wrapped up in parts, encrypted packages with address. The content is completely hidden from the view.
  • As a result, the content traffic cannot be reviewed and it goes to its designated destination (address).
  • As soon as the data is delivered to its address, the wrapping is removed.

Why use VPN service at free Wi-Fi hotspots?

Wi-Fi networks are known to be the most unsafe networks. When connected, user’s electronic device is the most vulnerable to cybercriminal attacks. You may never know, who is sitting next to you. With a wide variety of free eavesdropping software available on the web, it is easy to use for as attackers like to say “just for fun”.
