Whats a VPN and how does it help you save cost in browsing.

You may know what a VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is; you probably don't use one. You really should be using a VPN, and even if you don't think so now, at some point in the future you may consider it as important as your internet connection.

There are so many VPN providers that it's difficult to choose a really good one. VPNs are not all created equally, and in this post, we're going to look at what a VPN is, why you want one, and how to pick the best one for you. Let's get started.

What Is a VPN?

Simply put a Virtual Private Network, or VPN, is a group of computers (or discrete networks) networked together over a public network—namely, the internet. Businesses use VPNs to connect remote datacenters, and individuals can use VPNs to get access to network resources when they're not physically on the same LAN (local area network), or as a method for securing and encrypting their communications when they're using an untrusted public network.

When you connect to a VPN, you usually launch a VPN client on your computer (or click a link on a special website), log in with your credentials, and your computer exchanges trusted keys with a far away server. Once both computers have verified each other as authentic, all of your internet communication is encrypted and secured from eavesdropping.

The most important thing you need to know about a VPN: It secures your computer's internet connection to guarantee that all of the data you're sending and receiving is encrypted and secured from prying eyes.

Whether the VPNs you're familiar with are the ones offered by your school or business to help you work or stay connected when you're traveling or the ones you pay to get you watch your favorite shows in another country as they air, they're all doing the same thing.

Benefits of using a VPN:

A VPN alone is just a way to bolster your security and access resources on a network you're not physically connected to

1) The student/worker. This person has responsibilities to attend to, and uses a VPN provided by their school or company to access resources on their network when they're at home or traveling. In most cases, this person already has a free VPN service provided to them, so they're not exactly shopping around. Also, if they're worried about security, they can always fire up their VPN when using airport or cafe WI-Fi to ensure no one's snooping on their connection

2) The downloader. Whether they're downloading legally or illegally, this person doesn't want on some company's witch-hunt list just because they have a torrenting app installed on their computer. VPNs are the only way to stay safe when using something like BitTorrent—everything else is just a false sense of security. (Torrenting would be discussed in Part 2)

3) The privacy minded and security advocate. Whether they're a in a strictly monitored environment or a completely free and open one, this person uses VPN services to keep their communications secure and encrypted and away from prying eyes whether they're at home or abroad. To them, unsecured connections mean someone's reading what you say

4) The Globetrotter: This person wants to watch the Olympics live as they happen, without dealing with their crummy local networks. They want to check out their favorite TV shows as they air instead of waiting for translations or re-broadcasts (or watch the versions aired in other countries,) listen to location-restricted streaming internet radio, or want to use a new web service or application that looks great but for some reason is limited to a specific country or region.

Popular Myths About VPN:

Q1) Can I use VPN to bypass the data limited by my ISP? Like if I have a 1 GB per month data plan, can I use a VPN to use more than 1 GB per month? If yes, how do I need to configure my VPN?

A) Using a VPN only means that all your traffic goes to a server first and then it's routed to the original destination - as opposed to have the data going directly to their destination from your device. The limit you have applies to the data sent from your device, no matter where it is directed. Hence, if you have 1 GB per month, it doesn't matter if you're using it to access Facebook directly or you're passing through a VPN server


Q2) Tor is a better alternative than a VPN?

A2) Reality:
Tor is frequently cited as an alternative to using a VPN. However, as several publications have correctly pointed out, Tor doesn't make you anonymous. Even Tor admits that it can't solve all anonymity problems and cautions users to proceed accordingly. Tor is difficult for the average Internet user to setup, and users often complain that Tor is slow

Q3) All VPN software is the same?

As a recent study pointed out, some VPN products can suffer from IPv6 leakage and DNS vulnerabilities, causing many users to think twice about relying on a VPN to protect them online. However, not all VPNs are created equal. When it comes to the IPv6 leak, only VPNs that run through IPv6 are in danger, and those that use 3rd-party clients (which Golden Frog does not do) are most at risk. As for the DNS vulnerabilities, most VPN providers don't offer their own DNS servers like Golden Frog does. When DNS requests are sent over 3rd-party networks to 3rd-party DNS servers, users are more vulnerable to monitoring, logging or manipulation.

Q4) Privacy companies don't collect or sell my data?

A4) We have noticed a disturbing trend of "so-called" privacy companies offering free services so they can snoop on users. Just because a company offers a privacy product or service does not mean they will keep your data private. This is especially true for companies that offer free services to users. When you use a privacy tool you are often are required to give access to more information than the tool can protect, so you need to trust the company. Marketing companies have rushed into the privacy space and are abusing that trust

Q5) Even if my VPN provider uses hosted or cloud-based VPN servers I can still be anonymous?

A5) Anyone that runs server infrastructure knows running infrastructure with ZERO logs is extremely difficult, if not impossible. Now imagine how hard it would be to eliminate logging if you DIDN'T run your own infrastructure and instead rented your VPN servers and network from 3rd parties! Aside from Golden Frog, virtually all VPN providers in the world do not run their own infrastructure. Instead, VPN providers "rent" their servers and network from a "landlord," such as a hosting company or data center. When the VPN provider "rents" instead of "owns," how can it guarantee that its "landlord" will respect the privacy of its VPN users?

Just last year, a Dutch customer of a "no log" VPN Provider was tracked down by authorities by using VPN connection logs after using the "no log" VPN service to make a bomb threat. The VPN provider's data center provider ("landlord" apparently seized the VPN server at the direction of the authorities. The data center provider was also keeping network transfer logs of the VPN provider.

The VPN Provider says they cancelled the contract with the data center but strangely didn't address the other 100+ locations where they presumably rent VPN servers. Did they cancel contracts with those data centers too? Predictably, this same VPN Provider still prominently advertises an "anonymous VPN service" and claims it keeps "absolutely no logs."

In the forum of a different VPN Provider, a discussion thread conveniently disappeared when a user questioned whether users can trust data centers to not log.

Some questions to ask about VPN Providers who "rent" servers include:

How can the "Server Renters/Cloud" protect their users from their hosting companies taking snapshots of their machines for backup purposes, DDOS purposes, or at the direction of law enforcement?
How can "server renters" prevent a live migration of the hosted VPN server in which an entire image is taken of the computer, including operating system memory and hard drive, especially when live migrations can be invisible to the VPN Provider?
What happens to the data when the hosted machine is no longer used by the VPN provider?
If you don't own the server, how can you be sure your landlord doesn't have a key or backdoor into the hosted server?


Watch out for Part 2 Soon.
