3 Reasons Businesses and Private Web Visitors Use VPNs - Tech-inmotion/VPNTechguy GitHub Wiki

The number of VPN software advertisements we are seeing advertised on free apps, social media, and other web resources that also show adverts is increasing. There is a good reason for this too. An increasing number of people are seeing the benefits of owning a VPN!

Stop Your ISP From Knowing the Sites You Are Visiting

Regardless of where you connect to the internet while using a VPN, if the VPN is active, then the internet router cannot see or record any of the websites that are visiting. Even the VPN server you are connected doesn’t record the websites you are visiting because it is continuously clearing its cache. As a result, VPNs are the perfect tool to disguise your web browsing activity.

Download Torrents

Torrents have their pros and their cons. On the one hand, they infringe on copyright laws because people use them to share/seed movies and music. That said, if you are a web programmer, software analyst, or coder – there are tons of useful software and training related torrents that can help you do your job better.

However, your ISP may not approve the use of torrents due to local government laws. Therefore, you will not want your ISP to know that you are connecting to torrent sharing platforms. To do this, you will need VPN software .

Getting Past Geographic Location Blocks

When you sign up to a VPN software service, you do not get access to just one VPN server – you get access to hundreds of them. What’s more, these servers will be dotted around the world. Therefore, if you need to access content in the US but the website is geo-blocked from your location in Switzerland for example, then all you need to do is log on to a VPN server in the USA!
