HISTORICAL FACTS: The top 5 vpn red flags to avoid | History Defined

Four red flags on silver poles against a blue sky with light fluffy clouds.

Virtual private networks, or VPNs, are great tools that keep you and your data safe online by encrypting your connection. This is especially useful if you're using public Wi-Fi, as it means all connection requests and network traffic is routed through your VPNs encrypted servers, meaning you are effectively hidden from all others connected to the network. By being hidden, you keep yourself safe from anyone trying to access your data via public Wi-Fi. 

Not only can VPNs keep you protected online, but they can also help you get around content blocks and even geo-restrictions, meaning you can watch content from all across the globe from the comfort of your home.
