A VPN, or virtual private network, is a secure connection between people and devices over the Internet. It uses encryption technology to re-create the security of a local network and connect devices that are not in the same location. A VPN makes going online safer and more private by stopping people from seeing who you are, where you are, or what you’re looking at.

If you’re on a public network, such as in an airport or coffee shop, you can use a VPN to hide your identity, spoof your location, and mask your online activities.

Malwarebytes Privacy VPN is a good solution for protecting your online privacy. It secures your WiFi connections at speeds faster than traditional VPNs so it won’t slow you down when you’re gaming or browsing the Internet.

Malwarebytes Privacy uses stealthy VPN tunneling technology to safeguard your personal information and help you stay anonymous while using the web. Your Internet traffic travels through an encrypted tunnel and will look like it’s coming from a Malwarebytes’ virtual server – giving you a simple, easy way to take control of your privacy.

One word to the wise: Avoid free VPNs. Free VPNs exist for criminals who don’t want to leave a paper trail. Unfortunately, the majority of free VPNs are run by criminals, for criminals.

It's also important to pair a VPN with a good cybersecurity program for total protection. VPNs are just one aspect of an all-encompassing cybersecurity strategy. Home users interested in using the Internet safely and privately should take a look at Malwarebytes for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Chromebook.
