Masking the IP address, location, and search history of the user with its controlling ability to add top-up layers of online security and privacy to the user’s online activities, Virtual Private Network (VPN) prides itself in establishing a secure connection between the user and the internet.

By creating a private and secure tunnel between the user’s device and the internet using VPN encryption protocols, VPN encrypts the user’s surfing behavior, disguising the user’s IP address to an IP address provided by the VPN server. By encapsulating the data, VPN makes it more challenging for the Internet Service Provider (ISP), other third parties, and cybercriminals to track, alter the online activities or steal the data of the users. 

Apart from ensuring greater privacy and security online, VPN can benefit organizations with network scalability and reduction in support costs. VPN also gives an opportunity to the users to gain access to region-blocked services like sports coverage channels or TV shows on certain country’s Netflix.

In this day and age, where sensitive information resides in the phone, laptops, and tablets and the internet is not a safe place, can a VPN connection guarantee 100% anonymity?
