Do you know VPN networks?

How many times have you been in a public place with free Wi-Fi and not done so for fear of it being unsafe? Bars, restaurants, airports... Anyone connected to that network could access your personal data, right?

VPNs (Virtual Private Networks) are a type of network that creates a private network extension over a public network so you can browse encrypted , or in other words, completely securely, just as if you were browsing at home.

In addition to offering secure browsing, these networks allow you to access geo-blocked websites. For example, if you're traveling in a country where internet access is restricted, you can connect through a VPN. How? Very simple: if you use a VPN with a location in another country, you'd virtually be in the country you're connected to, even if you're physically in the one where access is blocked.

Another feature they offer is connection to a work network . If you travel frequently for work, you should know that VPNs allow you to access your work network and keep your resources fully protected.

These are some of the many possibilities they offer and you can configure them on PC devices, smartphones and tablets .
