In this article, we will deal with the use of VPN services at this time, as the Internet itself has changed. The Internet has become a public network where there is no privacy, where ads are following us and where certain content is filtered.
What is VPN?
At past, VPN was a synonym for business use, employees through a PPTP connection access files at its companies from. In people was popular Hamchi, for playing multiplayer games, I specifically played C & C Generals. Generally, VPN weakness is overhead - slowing down the internet connection in a certain percentage.
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) has completed its own
PPTP itself is the most popular VPN protocol ever. Its biggest advantage is that it goes to the server through NAT. Its biggest drawback is security, and how drunk is the fact that this protocol is dropped in the latest versions of iOS and Android operating systems. The replacement and combination that proved well and supported in newer versions of operating systems is L2TP + IPSec.
How do we use VPN today?
- Location
Due to the restriction of certain content across the globe, users often choose to use VPN. For example, it's not possible to use popular social networks in China, and with VPN it is possible to access such content. Spotify is the best service to listen to music, but it's unavailable in some countries. To use Spotify, it is necessary to introduce yourself to a server with an IP address from the United States, which can just offer VPN . Netflix is available to us, but the offer of movies and series is very weak, much less exclusive content than in the US. - Public WiFi
The use of open WiFi is ideal for stealing passwords and crypto virus extraction. It is currently unthinkable to do anything more seriously on this network without VPN. - P2P and piracy
Popcorn Time, Codes, Bit Torrent - Consumption of pirated content ... This is still useless in our country, partly because of the backlog of legal regulations, and partly because of the still underdeveloped Internet infrastructure. In Germany, when downloading pirated content over the p2p network, a penalty of 1200EUR will automatically arrive at your home address, so if it's cheaper than a monthly fee of 5EUR 🙂 - VoIP - Voice over IP listening-in
Dying fixed telephony and moving to SIP are ideal for eavesdropping. And using Chinese ATA devices with a backdoor is another blow to your privacy. It is recommended that voice traffic be protected by some of the VPN technologies, such as IPSec. - Watching domestic TV channels from abroad
The obligation of all domestic IPTV providers is to block domestic TV content to users outside of its country. The use of VPN technology can provide a simulation of access from your country and hence watching domestic channels from abroad. - Anonymity
This is also the biggest problem, or recommendation for using VPN. Stay as much anonymous using VPN. Advertisements, hackers, NSA, Facebook, Google, Apple and everyone else will have difficulty in tracking you and obtaining your personal information.
