What is a VPN in China?
What is a VPN in China?
In simple terms, it is an online service that can hide your IP address and location, as well as encrypt your Internet data and traffic. This will protect you from surveillance by the government, Internet service provider or cybercriminals.
But what does VPN mean?
The abbreviation stands for Virtual Private Network. It allows you to set up a private network (which will not be physical — hence the word "virtual") on top of the public (in this case, the Internet).
Corporate VPNs vs. personal VPNs
To better understand what a VPN is, you need to learn how to distinguish between corporate and personal VPNs.
In a nutshell, a personal VPN is a service offered by VPN Services — third-party companies that offer VPN functionality to any user on the Internet. The purpose of personal VPNs is to help you, the average Internet user, safely browse sites and circumvent any restrictions that you encounter.
On the other hand, a corporate VPN (also called a remote access VPN) is a VPN connection that large businesses set up on their own. Corporate VPNs have basically one goal — to provide employees, owners, and stakeholders with secure remote access to company data.

that's right. the VPN service not only helps to hide or change your ip address but also protects all your data that you use on the Internet. this is very important if you use public Internet access points in public places very often. however, you need to decide which service to use paid or free.

VPN is a free implementation of VPN technology designed to create secure communication channels between users of the Internet or local area networks of the type client-server or point-to-point. In this case, one of the computers of the connection participants is assigned by the server, the rest are connected as clients. Unlike the first three varieties of VPN, it requires the installation of special software.

currently, there are a very large number of different access points with free Internet. however, not all of them are protected. and using the services of these access points your data is subject to the fact that they can be used by other people. I didn't know how to protect my data from fraudsters before. but recently a friend recommended me to apply to https://topvpn.tw/free-vs-paid-vpn. now my data is completely secure.

If you use public Wi-Fi, which is the most dangerous from a security point of view, then the VPN will encrypt and secure your information - these can be passwords from mail, social networks, access keys to wallets and other important personal information. The Wi-Fi signal goes through a normal radio wave and being in the range of these waves, fraudsters easily get information from your device.

of course VPN will encrypt and protect your information but many users do not pay any attention to this service. and for good reason. after all, when the scammers get hold of your information it will be very late to do something. therefore, it is better to prevent this in advance.
