Potential fit
Who may find a VPN useful?
Freelancers, travellers and remote workers who regularly use hotel, airport, café or shared networks may value an encrypted connection between their device and a VPN server. It can also provide a consistent way to route traffic across supported devices.
What a VPN can help with
- • Encrypting traffic between your device and the VPN service.
- • Reducing exposure to observers on a local shared network.
- • Changing the public internet address seen by websites.
What a VPN does not replace
- • Strong passwords and multi-factor authentication.
- • Software updates, backups and malware protection.
- • Careful checks for phishing, scams and unsafe downloads.
