What is a VPN, and where do they fall short?

At its core, a VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a tool for safeguarding your online privacy. It creates a secure, encrypted pathway for your internet activity, keeping it hidden from unwanted observers. People use VPNs for a variety of reasons. These include enhanced security on public Wi-Fi, better privacy by hiding your location, and accessing geo-restricted content.

Traditional VPNs struggle to give you consistent access to blocked websites and apps.

While VPNs offer some benefits, they have limitations. Traditional VPNs are easy to detect, making it straightforward for network monitors to block them. They also rely on a limited set of IP addresses that service providers or governments can easily restrict. As a result, traditional VPNs struggle to give you consistent access to blocked websites and apps.
