Complete VPN

Chances are by now you already know a bit about VPNs and what they do. Perhaps you’ve heard they’re useful for unblocking content on Netflix, or getting around internet restrictions at school or work, but you may want to develop a much better understanding of how they work before parting with any cash.

Up until only a few years ago, VPNs were almost exclusively used by businesses to allow employees to connect to the company network whilst working remotely.

After the Edward Snowden revelations of 2013, however, when we discovered that government bodies around the world are in fact snooping on their citizens’ internet use, people started thinking more seriously about their online privacy.

This and the practise of content providers using geo-blocking to stop access from certain countries, has led to a meteoric rise in the popularity of consumer VPNs.

The aim of this guide is to explain the most important aspects of VPNs in theory and practise. There’s no way I can cover everything you might need to know.

If you’ve never used a VPN before or would like to know a bit more about how they work or want to be armed with some extra knowledge before signing up to a subscription, you’ll get a good deal of information right here in this VPN guide. I won’t dumb it down so get your thinking cap on.
