Why do you need VPN for home digital devices?: Mcafee Blog

Recently, I think that the opportunity to hear the word VPN is increasing.But you may not understand exactly what VPN does and whether your family needs VPN.VPN is required for family devices.I will explain why.

One of the main reasons we hear about VPN is that cyber crimes and data infringement have increased rapidly since this pandemic began.Cyber criminals are trying to obtain and exploit your data by making full use of various ways.Joining a VPN service is one of the most practical and powerful ways to confront such a threat.

What is VPN?

What is VPN?、仮想プライベート ネットワークの略です。むずかしく感じられるかもしれませんが、そんなことはありません。一言でいえば、VPNは、ご家族のデバイスにインストールするアプリです。公共のWi-Fiを使用している場合に、データやオンラインでの活動を安全に保護することができます。とてもシンプルですよね。

VPN mechanism

When a computer or smartphone is connected to the VPN, the service sends a network traffic through a VPN server and moves to a public Wi-Fi server.VPN is encrypted to encrypt the data, so even if cyber criminals try to access online activities, only encryption is displayed.

The VPN encrypts Internet traffic and transferred it to scrambled to block tracking based on location information, providing stronger protection than open networks.By encryption, it is difficult for malicious cyber criminals to decipher your current information, data, and online activities.

VPN merit

1.Reduction of risks on the go: There are concerns that others can see traffic when you or your family using public Wi-Fi to stream, shopping, and games.On the other hand, VPN, online, encrypts online activities, is only encrypted in hackers.

2.Provision of additional security protection to children: VPN is safe if your child has forgotten to turn off the smartphone Wi-Fi automatic connection function.This will be a powerful security feature for children to connect to her network, shopping, online banking, game site, etc. all day from a place other than home.

4.Security of multiple devices: If you have two devices with five families, there are up to 10 invasions for malicious attackers to steal data or fraud.increase.While cyber security threats are increasing, VPN offers high security to all users on multiple devices, regardless of individual safety awareness.

Main functions of VPN

When purchasing the best VPN for families, many people are lost in choosing many functions.Therefore, I will explain the best VPN function for families.Please refer to the following.

1.Financial institution -level encryption function: Quick search displays many VPN options, but not all protect customers.Approximately 38%of the Androidvpn app on the Google Play Store (partially free) install instead of blocking malware.Another survey reveals that 72% of 283 free VPN providers contain trackers.It is important to make a confirmation from these general criteria and select a VPN that provides financial institution -level encryption functions.Note: Many of the free VPN earn money by sharing data with third parties.

2.Unlimited bandwidth: Select a VPN that can secure a safe network connection regardless of the length of the online environment.

3.Efficient speed: Consider selecting a high -speed VPN that improves privacy without reducing the quality of connections with the increase in remote work and school online classes.

4.Access to virtual location information: Consider a VPN server that displays a different location from the actual entry point.This feature enhances anonymity, location information, and browsing history.For example, even if you are connected to the Internet in the United States, the VPN server is displayed in Italy.
