How To Encrypt Internet Traffic Easily

VPN is the best and quick solution for this purpose, it will encrypt the whole internet just like that. I have tried NordVPN with the 30-day refund policy, check it out.

Virtual Private Network abbreviated as VPN is a private network and acts as a man-in-middle between computing devices and the internet. These remote computing devices act as if they are part of that private network. VPNs can provide security and traffic management to monitor internet encryption.

“A VPN connection is established by a virtual end-to-end connection (sometimes called an encrypted tunnel) through the use of virtual tunnel protocols, traffic encryption, and dedicated connections to the remote server.”

Some companies set up VPNs to allow employees to access securely their corporate intranet structure, or to connect to geographically separated offices. Internet users can use VPNs to secure their wireless financial transactions, to protect personal identity and location, and/or to bypass geo-restrictions and censorship.

Safe Yourself From Fake & Free VPNs

Free VPN service providers are commonly available on the internet. They do provide internet encryption. But their set back is that they only provide limited bandwidth and speed monthly which quickly burns out if you like downloading, use YouTube more often or stream your favorite channels. Also, they provide fewer servers to connected to which makes them populated, as majority people connect to those servers.

“Some free VPN service providers breach their users’ privacy rights by logging their data usage and reveal it to agencies or make money by selling the user’s unused bandwidth to others.”

Paid VPN service providers, on the other hand, are bound by their policies. For the cost of few pounds, they provide access to hundreds of remote servers located worldwide encrypt internet traffic and hide your personal IP address which makes it harder for others to track you.
