When you enter a URL in your web browser of choice, your device sends a request to your internet service provider, which then relays the request further until it reaches the final destination and the process continues in the reverse direction. All the parties involved, including your internet service provider, can see where the original request came from and trace it back to you.

A VPN makes you untraceable by establishing a virtual private network and enabling you to receive data across shared or public networks as if your computing devices were directly connected to the private network.

In other words, any requests your devices send first through a VPN provider before they reach the internet. The VPN provider hides your real IP address and encrypts your traffic, making it appear as if it was coming directly from its servers.

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.
