What is a VPN and how it works | NordVPN

These are a few of the most common questions for anyone who’s getting familiar with the world of online privacy and security. This video is a great primer on VPN technology.

VPN stands for “virtual private network.” It’s a tool that routes your internet traffic through a secure VPN server, encrypting it in the process. A VPN also lets you hide your IP address and virtual location.

Thanks for the summary and all the use cases, for less tech people it can be tricky to use a VPN to full efficiency

Useful video, very cool animations as well! I bought a VPN to mainly use it for public Wifi, but I'll definitely try the other use cases. First stop, reducing game ping ;)

I've been using Nordvpn for 2 years now, unfortunately I can't afford to pay for another year so I have to part ways today... I'll come back in a couple months when I can afford it.

VPN works for me not only as a safe guard, but also helps me to switch different countries IP address without travelling, that is amazing.

Using a VPN is one thing but limiting social media is entirely different. Netflix has tons of documentaries like Social dilemma, the recent one, it's srsly frightening the way social networks work and how they sell user as a product :S

Im still trying to decide becoming a member but the reviews of people complaining about it's very hard and difficult to cancel a NordVPN subscription is holding me off

[jisancy]

Is nt it illegal to access blocked Websites?? That's the whole point of blocking the websites right.?? I still not getting it.

Avoid the common mistake that a VPN hides everything. For example, if you're on Facebook with a VPN on whatever you do on Facebook is on their servers, so don't post things you'd regret. Another example is that you're just visiting some page to read some naughty news - this will be rerouted through VPN servers and disapeear due to no-logs policies. Cheers.

Can this help with high ping related issues on my PS5? if so, how?

[NelsonJ-tv]

Back when I used to use soft soft when I knew it kind of well I used the soft roll to make softs I thought it was just more effective

[erikaadomaitiene]

[dustinmonroe]

Use it only to access streaming libraries

[triakshachowdhury]

Thanks a lot.. it is perfectly described.

[wulphstein]

Can I access websites that I have been banned from?

It seems public access to the Internet network has the side effects of what colleges use to do, making copies of transmissions before they are relayed that some how could be detected if attempted passed the point of just relaying or if future complaints to how it happened to often a solution to the crime. This is the theory of flash cards crime stories seeing it being possible or simply just for precautions. What would a magnetic scanner wrist watch look like in action for even future worries. Timings could help if interfered with.
