A real 46% discount on IPVanish VPN for a limited time

A VPN provides online privacy, security, and anonymity by routing all internet traffic through an impenetrable tunnel protected by state-of-the-art encryption.

Without a VPN, your internet service provider can see everything you do online, and many countries require internet service providers to log all activity of their customers. Even the websites you visit see your IP address, which is basically your identity on the internet.

If you would rather enjoy the internet the way it was meant to be enjoyed—without various third parties recording and analyzing your every move—you need a VPN to mask your real IP address and make your activity virtually untraceable.

A VPN allows you to establish an encrypted tunnel to hide your online activity and protect you from snooping and internet surveillance. Most VPN services today support the OpenVPN protocol, an open-source commercial software that implements virtual private network techniques and allows peers to authenticate each other using pre-shared secret keys, certificates, or username/password.

To set up a VPN using OpenVPN, simply download a configuration file from your VPN provider of choice and move it to the /config/ folder of the OpenVPN app. You can have up to 50 configuration files in the directory and switch between them right from the app.

Alternatively, you can set up a VPN using the app provided by your VPN service of choice. All popular VPN service providers today have apps for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and they work right out of the box.
