What is a VPN?

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an Internet privacy and encryption tool that should be considered if safeguarding your data or online anonymity is important to you. Customers use our VPN service to secure their web connection and browser traffic, and in some cases gain temporary access to censored websites and services not otherwise available in their location. 

A VPN creates an encrypted link between your computer and our VPN servers, sending all IPv4 traffic through that connection. To an outside observer, it looks like a continuous stream of scrambled code. Your data, originating on your device, takes an encrypted route (known as a tunnel) and emerges on the other side of the connection (our VPN server) before going to its final destination. Provided you aren't giving any website personally identifiable information, they are only going to see that you are originating from our server.
