Unfortunately, utilising certain VPN companies might be just as harmful as not using a VPN at all. Users’ connection information are logged by several popular providers, which can then be sold to other parties. Some unsecure providers can leak connection information, leaving you as vulnerable as if you weren’t using a VPN. A VPN can provide piece of mind if you’re concerned about the risks of utilising public Wi-Fi to check important business email accounts, bank account balances, or plane ticket and passport information.
How to setup VPN in 10 minutes
Your first step is the same whether you’re using an iPhone or an Android phone: Choose a VPN that is compatible with your mobile device and that you enjoy using. Here’s how to do it: 2. Type the name of the VPN you want to use into the search bar and select it from the list of apps that appears. Make sure you’re installing the official app rather than a copycat by looking at the app’s author. The app creator’s name and the company’s name should be the same. Wait for the app to download after clicking Install. 3. After installing the VPN app, exit the Google Play store and return. 4. You’ll be asked to provide your login details or join up for the service the first time you use any premium VPN app. Check your email for a confirmation link from your new VPN provider if you’re asked to sign up with an email address (which is usually always the case).
