Why this days, a VPN is a must

Many internet users nowadays are choosing to browse the web with VPN (Virtual Private Networks) for various reasons. For instance, they are able to bypass restrictions set up by internet providers and also provide greater anonymity when online.

What are the benefits of using a VPN?

1) Enhanced online security

In the current digital age, web users are prone to attack by hackers, spoofers and spammers who may want to steal their information for their own selfish reasons. There have been cases where even high-profile people and companies have been hacked, and forced to pay huge ransoms in order to access their accounts again.

To avoid such a situation, you can use a VPN which is highly encrypted and prevents unauthorized persons from accessing your data online.

2) They provide ad and tracker blocking

There are VPNs with integrated ad, tracker and malware blocking systems that ensure your device isn’t compromised in any way. With these networks, you’ll generally see fewer ads when browsing since blocking of unnecessary web content is done at the DNS stage, where domains commonly associated with malware, trackers and pop-up/targeted ads are blacklisted.

VPNs allow you to surf the internet freely without being bothered by endless ads targeting you, coming from your previous search history.

3) Can help circumvent geographical barriers

If you want to browse online content from a country that has web restrictions, the easiest way to do this is using a VPN service. This is particularly important when you are travelling abroad, but the country you are visiting has restrictions on some of your favorite apps such as Facebook, Youtube, Twitter and so on. A VPN will allow you to access these sites no matter the limitations imposed by your host country.

Likewise, it can help you unblock sensitive online content that’s useful to you. For instance, if you’re an investigative journalist wanting to know more about what’s going on in the government, a VPN can help you do so since it’s untraceable by servers.

4) Can help you by-pass ISP bandwidth throttling

Sometimes, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) take advantage of unsuspecting web users to boost their profits by interfering with internet speeds when visiting popular sites such as Netflix. Since these streaming services consume a lot of bandwidth, they may tweak their web connection to be somewhat slower when using these sites so that they can profit in the long run.

However, since VPNs hide your online identity the ISP won’t be able to detect that you’re trying to view content from Netflix, or any other earmarked site. Hence, you’re less likely to be affected by bandwidth throttle thus guaranteeing you a seamless browsing and streaming experience.

How good is Express VPN?

Once you know why this days, a VPN is a must. The next step is choosing a reputable VPN company that meets your requirements. Currently, one of the hottest VPN services in the market is ExpressVPN. Below are some factors that make it stand out from the rest:

  1. a) Ease of Use

It doesn’t matter the kind of device that you’re using, ExpressVPN is easy to set up on a PC, Tablet, Smartphone or any other appliance that you have. The first step is creating an account with the company, then providing your payment details and completing the setup process by following the guidelines given.

Once you log into your ExpressVPN account, you’ll find that the icons are smartly organized and easy to find. You only need to choose your preferred server location, click on ‘Connect’ and then you’re ready to go.

  1. b) Reasonable Priced

The service offers great value for money especially for individuals who choose the long-term VPN plan. Additionally, they have amazing deals and coupon codes that you can redeem to access their network at even much lower rates.

ExpressVPN also has flexible payment options which include all major debit and credit cards, including online payment methods such as Bitcoin, Paypal, WebMoney, Paymentwall and Giropay.

  1. c) Reliable Support Network

The company has a 24/7 live-chat support system that’s one of the most responsive in the VPN industry. Likewise, you can reach them through online ticketing system and direct email which are equally effective methods of communication. Furthermore, on their website you’ll find helpful troubleshooting guides and detailed tutorials for solving minor issues that may occur on your VPN.
