Why you should use a VPN all the time?
You probably wouldn't like a stranger constantly staring into your windows and watching what you do. But such strangers can also peek through your browser window. And they do it more often than you think. This is why you should use a VPN and keep it on.
Should I keep my VPN on?
Yes, you should keep it on regularly to keep yourself safe from hackers, breaches, data leaks, and intrusive snoopers like ISPs or advertisers. VPNs encrypt your traffic and protect your privacy from third parties and cyber criminals.
VPNs hide your location by connecting you to a remote server, so no one will be able to see what and where you browse. VPNWall also has many additional functions such as Cybersec or Kill Switch, providing additional layers of protection.
When should you turn on VPN ?
You should enable VPN:
1.When you use public Wi-Fi. There are many insecure public Wi-Fi networks and they are fertile ground for cybercriminals, who sometimes even set up fake connection points to snoop on users. VPN's strong encryption algorithms will help you protect your traffic from malicious actors;
2.When you are in a country with strict internet restrictions and a low internet freedom index. Some countries restrict certain content. Using a VPN can save you a lot of trouble, and some VPNs have additional protections against these types of threats
3.When you want to access content not available in your country or bypass content restrictions. All you need to do is connect to a remote VPN server in a country where your desired content is available
4.When you send sensitive data or perform financial transactions. Hackers can intercept your connection, but with VPN encryption, no one will see what you do;
5.When you want to avoid bandwidth throttling. Sometimes ISPs intentionally slow down user traffic. They might do this if they don't have enough resources to deal with streaming and gaming 24/7. In many cases, they can target users based on what they are doing. By using a VPN, your ISP won't see what you do, so they'll be less likely to throttle your connection speed;
6. When there is no HTTPS extension. Not all websites are equally secure. There are still websites that do not use the secure HTTPS extension and instead use HTTP. HTTPS uses the TLS protocol to encrypt data traveling between users and websites. However, you should still use a VPN when accessing HTTPS sites. HTTPS only encrypts the connection between you and the website, while VPN encrypts all of your connections. HTTPS encryption is typically weaker than VPNs (learn more about it here). Furthermore, VPNs can provide many other security functions (e.g. Cybersec, Kill Switch, etc.);
7.When you want to bypass the firewall. The VPN will route you through an encrypted tunnel and hide your real IP. No one will be able to see what you do online and limit your traffic;
When to turn off VPN ?
While VPNWall recommends that you turn off your VPN as little as possible, here are some exceptions:
1.When speed is of utmost importance (e.g. gaming or downloading large files). Sometimes VPNs can reduce your speeds because they create an encrypted tunnel and connect you to a remote server, which requires additional traffic resources. However, VPNWall offers exceptionally high speeds, so you might not even notice any difference;
2.When the content you need to access is only available in your physical location, but the VPN service doesn't have servers in that area.For situations like this, VPNWall has a handy VPN Pause feature that allows you to briefly disable the feature while ensuring that you never forget to re-enable your encrypted tunnel.
While we highly recommend using a VPN most of the time, you should also make sure you use a trustworthy service. The best VPNs don't store your data, have a wide selection of servers, and come from a trusted provider. Try VPNWall - we have a no-logging policy, high speeds, and an easy-to-use interface.
