WHAT IS A VPN?



A VPN, or virtual private network, is a secure tunnel between your device and
the internet. VPNs protect you from snooping, interference, and censorship.

As you connect to a secure VPN server, your internet traffic goes through an
encrypted tunnel that nobody can see into—including hackers, governments, and
your internet service provider.

Love this app. I travel extensively around the world and this app helps me keep
in touch.

MAC, GOOGLE PLAY STORE

Whatever site I go to, they have no clue where I am located or who I am, and I
like it that way.

SP1R1T0NE, APPLE APP STORE

Got an account with @expressvpn yesterday. Great decision for traveling out of
the country!

BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES OF VPN


CHANGE YOUR LOCATION

Using a VPN changes your IP address, the unique number that identifies you and
where you are in the world. A new IP address makes it harder to determine your
identity and real location. With ExpressVPN, you can appear to be in the UK,
U.S., Canada, Australia, or any of 105 countries.


PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY

Changing your IP address with a VPN helps shield your identity from websites,
apps, and services that want to track you. Good VPNs also prevent your internet
provider, mobile carrier, and anyone else who may be listening from seeing your
activity, thanks to a layer of strong encryption.


INCREASE YOUR SECURITY

Using a VPN protects you from security breaches in many forms, including packet
sniffing, rogue Wi-Fi networks, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Travelers, remote
workers, and all kinds of on-the-go individuals use a VPN whenever they’re on an
untrusted network like free public Wi-Fi.

WHEN SHOULD I USE A VPN?

If privacy is important to you, you should use a VPN every time you connect to
the internet. A VPN app runs in the background of your device so it won’t get in
the way while you use other apps and browse the internet. And you’ll have peace
of mind knowing your privacy is always protected.

But here are some situations in which a VPN is especially useful:

WHILE TRAVELING

Exploring the world doesn’t mean you have to change the way you use the
internet. A VPN lets you use the internet as if you were still in your home
country, no matter how far you travel.

WHILE HAVING FUN

A VPN lets you enjoy the sites and services you like without ISP throttling that
could detract from your experience or outright blocking by your ISP or local
Wi-Fi network.

WHILE ON PUBLIC WI-FI

Connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots like those in cafes, airports, and parks
could leave your private information vulnerable. Using a VPN on your devices
keeps you safe with strong encryption.

WHILE GAMING

Using a VPN unlocks games, maps, skins, and other add-ons that might be
restricted on your network. It also shields you from DDoS attacks and reduces
ping and overall lag.


WHILE FILE-SHARING

P2P file sharing usually means that strangers can see your IP address and
possibly track your downloads. A VPN keeps your IP address private, letting you
download with increased anonymity.

WHILE SHOPPING

Some online stores show different prices to people in different countries. With
a VPN, you can find the best deals in the world no matter where you’re shopping
from.


HOW DOES A VPN WORK?

To understand how a VPN works, it helps to first understand how your internet
connection works without one.


WITHOUT A VPN

When you access a website without a VPN, you are being connected to that site
through your internet service provider, or ISP. The ISP assigns you a unique IP
address that can be used to identify you to the website. Because your ISP is
handling and directing all your traffic, it can see which websites you visit.
And your activity can be linked to you by that unique IP address.


WITH A VPN

When you connect to the internet with a VPN, the VPN app on your device (also
called a VPN client) establishes a secure connection with a VPN server. Your
traffic still passes through your ISP, but your ISP can no longer read it or see
its final destination. The websites you visit can no longer see your original IP
address, only the IP address of the VPN server, which is shared by many other
users and changes regularly.

Here are several key concepts related to VPN that will help you understand how a
VPN works and the benefits it provides:


PROXYING

The VPN server acts like a proxy, or stand-in, for your web activity: Instead of
your real IP address and location, websites you visit will only see the IP
address and location of the VPN server.

This makes you more anonymous on the internet.


AUTHENTICATION

Establishing a secure connection is a tricky problem solved by clever
mathematics in a process called authentication.

Once authenticated, the VPN client and VPN server can be sure they are talking
to each other and no one else.


TUNNELING

VPNs also protect the connection between client and server with tunneling and
encryption.

Tunneling is a process by which each data packet is encapsulated inside another
data packet. This makes it harder for third parties to read in transit.


ENCRYPTION

Data inside the tunnel is also encrypted in such a way that only the intended
recipient can decrypt it. This keeps the contents of your internet traffic
completely private. Even your internet service provider won’t see it.

TYPES OF VPN

COMMERCIAL VPN

A commercial VPN, also called a personal VPN or a consumer VPN, is a private
service offered directly to individuals, usually for a fee.

ExpressVPN is such a VPN service because it directly caters to the privacy needs
of its customers.

CORPORATE VPN

A corporate VPN, also called a business VPN, allows an organization’s remote
employees to connect securely to the internet as if they were physically present
in the office.

Unlike commercial VPNs, however, corporate VPNs are meant to protect the privacy
of the company and not necessarily the individual.

SELF-SETUP VPN

Some tech experts and DIY hobbyists choose to set up their own VPN using their
own equipment.

Self-setup VPNs, however, do not provide the protection of shared IP addresses,
server locations in multiple countries, or many other features enjoyed by
commercial VPN users.


FAQ

HOW DO I CHOOSE A VPN?

The most important quality to consider when choosing a VPN service is trust. A
trustworthy VPN provider:

 * is transparent in its privacy policy

 * has been independently audited

 * designs its systems to avoid storing personal data

 * shows a consistent commitment to internet privacy and digital freedom

Thereafter, choose your VPN based on the features you need, such as VPN server
locations, compatibility with all the devices you own, and unlimited bandwidth.

WHY SHOULD I PAY FOR A VPN?

It’s hard for a free VPN to match the features and service of a quality paid
provider. With free VPNs, you are more likely to experience slow connections
bogged down by a flood of users on suboptimal networks, no customer support,
weak security, and a small number of VPN server locations to choose from.

As a premium paid provider, ExpressVPN can offer connections optimized for
speed, security, and stability, as well as a wide selection of server locations
in 105 countries around the world. Plus, our dedicated Support Team is available
24/7 to help.

ARE VPNS LEGAL?

VPNs are legal, and they are consistently used by individuals and companies
around the world to protect their private information and online activity,
including in countries with highly restrictive governments. Even where VPNs are
seen as discouraged, many governments tacitly endorse their use by officials,
academics, or business leaders as a necessary measure to stay competitive in an
interconnected world. It is not practical for any country to ban all VPNs.

Having said that, illegal online activity remains illegal, whether you are using
a VPN or not.

CAN I USE A VPN ON MOBILE? WHY WOULD I WANT TO?

With apps for iOS and Android, ExpressVPN is easy to use on mobile devices. As
more of our digital activity—including banking, streaming, and messaging—happens
on our phones and tablets, it is becoming more important to safeguard our data
with a VPN on these devices, especially when using public Wi-Fi.

WILL A VPN SLOW DOWN MY INTERNET?

VPNs have the potential to slow your internet connection, but ExpressVPN’s
industry-leading speeds mean users rarely notice a difference. In fact, use of a
VPN may actually improve your connection if your ISP has been throttling your
traffic.

In any case, if you do notice that your connection has slowed down, try
selecting a server location that is geographically closer to you.

DO VPNS DRAIN BATTERY?

Like all apps, a VPN will consume some amount of power on your device. That’s
one reason ExpressVPN developed Lightway, our exclusive, custom-built new VPN
protocol, which is designed to use significantly less battery than other
protocols. It’s also faster and easier to audit and maintain.

CAN YOU BE TRACKED IF YOU USE A VPN?

ExpressVPN believes everyone has a right to privacy. When you connect to our
network, strong encryption prevents your activity from being observed by your
internet provider, Wi-Fi operators, or other third parties. ExpressVPN collects
no activity or connection logs, and our groundbreaking TrustedServer technology
ensures that no data is ever stored on any server. In short, no specific network
activity or behavior can be traced to any ExpressVPN user.

IS USING A VPN SAFE FOR ONLINE BANKING?

Using a VPN is not only safe, it can add a valuable layer of security to your
online banking, especially on public Wi-Fi networks. And because some financial
institutions will suspend access to users who appear to be visiting from
somewhere unexpected, connecting to a server location in your home country
before you log in to your bank or PayPal account can save you from getting
locked out.

SHOULD I LEAVE MY VPN ON ALL THE TIME?

We recommend that you keep ExpressVPN on anytime your device is connected to the
internet, even if you’re not actively using it. By leaving the app running in
the background, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your privacy is always
protected.
