I have been wondering for a long time whether it is worth using a VPN to protect my personal data. How effective is it, and does a VPN really hide everything I do on the Internet? I read that some services can collect data about users, even if they are anonymous. Tell me, who already uses a VPN – how much does it help to stay safe? Are there any specific tips on settings?
I started using VPN about a year ago and I can really see the difference. VPN hides my IP address and encrypts the data I send online. If configured correctly, these services can really help you stay anonymous. I recommend reading more about VPN at https://clearvpn.com/blog/what-is-vpn/ it’s a good article that explains how data encryption works and how to choose a reliable service. If you want to be sure of your security, try to avoid free VPN services. Many of them may collect and sell user data.
