Think you need a VPN? Start here.


Not everyone actually needs to use a VPN. This simple guide will help you decide if you need a VPN for your situation.

VPNs today make a lot of promises, from defending your privacy from surveillance to improving your internet speeds and protecting against malicious online threats. This can be due to licensing restrictions on the content providers, or because some websites are unable to meet the legal obligations that some regional authorities require, such as in the European Union. VPNs set up using modern infrastructure, like a data center or a cloud host, can usually handle a large amount of bandwidth and are unlikely to slow down your internet speeds or degrade the quality of your browsing, gaming, or content streaming.
