VPN

How a VPN can protect your
smartphone and increases
security and browsing comfort

Your smartphone holds your accounts, photos and messages.
What a VPN actually secures there – and where it additionally increases browsing comfort.

Protection in public networks, hotspots, Wi-Fis

A VPN encrypts your traffic from the smartphone to the VPN server, helping you to use public Wi-Fi, hotspots, etc. without worry and still surf safely. Encryption prevents cybercriminals from recording or manipulating your traffic.

Maintain privacy and security from services and websites you use

By not exposing your IP address to the websites you use, you avoid them being able to track you via IP address. Also, you are protected from attacks against your IP address, as malicious actors can only learn the IP address of the VPN server, not their actual IP address, while the VPN is active.

Bypass content blocks and annoying firewall settings

With the help of a VPN, you can view content that is blocked in your country, such as video on YouTube or in media libraries. With the VPN, you simply connect to a server in a country where the content is not blocked and then call up the desired content. To the website, you now appear as a user from the country where the VPN server is located.

Likewise, VPN allows you to bypass firewalls that prohibit you from accessing certain websites on local networks.

Increase privacy towards your Internet provider

Encryption via the VPN can also help protect your privacy towards your Internet provider, as it prevents them from analyzing your Internet traffic. For example, this can be very specifically useful if your provider throttles certain types of traffic or blocks access to certain services or websites.
