10 Reasons To Use A VPN For Private Web Browsing by OwillyOscar(m): 10:10pm On Aug 14, 2014
1. Download and Upload P2P Files in Privacy

For reasons of both profit and legality, the MPAA and other cinema associations absolutely detest P2P file sharing want to forbid users from sharing movies and music online. They nab offenders by masquerading as fellow file sharers, or by eavesdropping on your ISP signal.

A VPN can always be a P2P user's friend. A VPN connection will slow your bandwidth by 25% - 50%, it will cipher your file uploads, downloads, and actual IP address so that you are unidentifiable by authorities. If you are a file sharer, and do not wish to risk copyright prosecution or civil lawsuits, definitely consider spending 15 dollars a month on a good VPN.


2. Defeat Search-Engine Logging

Google, Bing, and other search engines will catalog every web search you perform. Your online search choices are then attached to your computer's IP address, and are subsequently used to customize advertising and future searches for your machine. This cataloging might seem unobtrusive and perhaps even useful, but it is also a risk for future public embarrassment and social faux pas.

Don't let Google store your searches for 'anti-depressants', 'anger management', 'divorce lawyers', and 'love advice'.


3. Access Restricted Websites


Your workplace will always prevent you from accessing your favorite site. But using a VPN means you’ll never come across another ”website blocked” message. Don’t let the administrators control what you can read or watch and what you can’t.

4. Use Wi-Fi hotspots securely

WiFi hotspots offer us a way to stay connected to the Internet in some of the most unlikely places. When it comes to technology, privacy concerns are the biggest problem with public WiFi connections. Using a VPN service for securing these connections is an effective way to use the Internet on-the-go with total confidence and peace of mind. The VPN turns any Wi-Fi hotspot into an encrypted and firewalled link for your computer or Smartphone.


5. You Believe Privacy Is a Basic Right

You are a firm believer in personal privacy and the right to broadcast and receive without being surveilled and catalogued by authorities. And that is perhaps the biggest philosophical reason you want to spend some dollars monthly on a good VPN connection service.
