WHAT IS
VPN?
• VPN stands for Virtual Private Network.
• It is essentially a tunnel that allows your
information to travel online securely,
providing you with a safe way to access a
private network or the public internet.
• A VPN works by encrypting your data,
which means your data is translated into a
code that only the VPN server can
decipher.
• It also masks your IP address (or digital
footprint, as it’s often referred to), which
makes you unrecognizable to Internet

FREE TO USE?
Fact: There is no such thing as
a truly free VPN.
VPNs cost the provider a

Free VPNs often log and keep

Free VPNs:

• Don’t offer consistent

• Disconnect often, leaving

4. BENEFITS OF
USING A VPN/VPN
PROS AND CONS
Aside from the many
security benefits VPNs offer, a
VPN might actually help
improve your internet speed. A
lot of internet service
providers throttle internet
speeds — usually to get you to
buy a more expensive
subscription. ISPs typically
throttle your speeds when it
comes to downloading content
or streaming material, so when
you’re watching tv online you
might notice it buffering more
This can be frustrating, but
there is a way around it that
doesn’t involve caving in and 04
spending even more money.
In order to throttle your
bandwidth, your internet
service provider needs to be
able to see your online
activity and know when you
are streaming. When you use
a VPN, your activity is hidden
from the ISP, so they do not
know when you are streaming
and therefore can’t reduce
your speeds.
