VPN - Services for hidding IP

What is a VPN for?

The main function of VPNs is to change the IP address so that you cannot be tracked. These tools allow us to connect to the Internet and hide the IP address of our connection, making our online activity invisible and our browsing completely anonymous.

With a VPN we can also create a private network between computers by using the public Internet network without them being physically connected.

How does a VPN work?

VPNs connect us to the Internet through intermediate servers in which our IP address is replaced by the IP address of that server. By hiding our computer's IP, we become anonymous users and our Internet activity will not be associated with us or our location. VPN tools use tunneling and data encryption technology and provide encrypted links between points or networks, which makes them very efficient solutions for ensuring online privacy and improving our online security.

Are all VPNs the same?

No. Not all VPNs are the same. Their main difference lies in the different standards, encryption, and authentication methods used by their developers.

There are options for Windows and for Mac, VPNs that prioritize speed over security or vice versa, others designed to change the IP address and support more than one connected device at a time.

Some VPNs allow us to connect to more than one intermediate server at the same time to gain security, others that have a higher degree of reliability, and even some that are directly focused on torrenting and streaming, among other options.
