Reasons to use a VPN while traveling

Secure your internet connections
When traveling, we often have to connect to public WIFI , whether in airports, train stations, hostels or even cafes. Very practical, these networks do not require any password and are therefore open to everyone. Except that the problem is that they are not at all secure .

Your phone and computer then become easy prey for hackers hanging around nearby. With a minimum of computer knowledge, they can in fact quite easily penetrate your devices to steal your personal information, such as your bank card data .

What’s the point of VPN when traveling in all this? As explained in this VPN definition , it encrypts your data , making it unreadable to malicious souls. With it, no more risk of hacking, you can surf the Internet with complete peace of mind.

Stay anonymous while traveling with a VPN
You’re probably aware, but when we browse the web, most of our actions are tracked . By our friend Google, already, but also in certain countries by the governments themselves. This is the case of Saudi Arabia or Russia for example.

If you go there, even as a tourist, know that you automatically waive any notion of confidentiality and agree to have your private life under control . Downloads, communications, sites consulted… in short, the slightest of your virtual actions can be analyzed.

Whether or not you have something to reproach yourself for, it is in any case not very pleasant to feel like you are constantly being watched . Once again, the VPN when traveling will therefore be used to hide your IP address as well as your exact location . With him, you are invisible and perfectly anonymous!
