Need of VPNs
A VPN service is necessary because of the following reasons:
- VPN masks our IP Addresses and location so that we remain anonymous while surfing the internet.
- It bypasses internet censorship and firewalls and we can also access region-restricted content.
- It encrypts our network traffic.

VPN (Virtual private network) is a technology that encrypts your internet traffic on unsecured networks to protect your online identity, hide your IP address, and shield your online data from third parties. VPNs use real-time encryption and send your internet data through a secure virtual tunnel to minimize the possibility of anyone tracking what you do online. A Virtual Private Network is a way to extend a private network using a public network such as the internet.
