F-Secure Freedome VPN keeps you secure for $50 a year
There are plenty of reasons you might want to use a virtual private network (VPN) but, for most of us, the primary purpose comes down to privacy.
If you’re in a coffee shop, using public Wi-Fi at the airport or somewhere else, it’s incredibly easy for a would-be hacker to snoop on what you’re doing. Maybe you’re buying goods from Amazon, or sending a private e-mail, or streaming a TV show you love. No, you don’t need to be secure just because you aren’t being nefarious, you should keep things secure because what you’re doing online is your private business. And, a lot of the time, it’s your life.
It always amazes me when I hear that someone doesn’t use a VPN or, perhaps worse, doesn’t really know what a VPN is. Think of it, basically, as a simple tool that blocks others from viewing what you’re doing online, and from others knowing exactly where you are.
