What does a VPN do?
PROTECT YOUR IDENTITY
- A VPN effectively hides your identity online from the websites you visit and your internet service provider (ISP). All your internet traffic is routed through a server hosted by the VPN provider. What this means is any tracking information associated with your internet activity will lead back to the service provider’s VPN server, not you.
- The VPN server acts as a relay between the information you request from the internet using your web browser and the destination website. When you type in youtube.com for example, that information is securely sent to the VPN server who in turn forwards it on to Youtube so the request appears to come from the VPN server, not you.
- The returning webpage is sent back to the VPN server and securely forwarded to you so the YouTube page will appear in your browser.
ENCRYPT YOUR DATA
- All traffic between you and the VPN server is encrypted.
- That means even if an attacker intercepts the data, it will be of no use to them. Your private data is safe, even if it is intercepted by cybercriminals.
RETAIN YOUR PRIVACY
- The VPN Service provider does not retain any records of internet activity.
- All tracking information that cybercriminals or authorities may obtain will lead back to a VPN Server with no browsing, identifying, or historical data to provide.
Are there other benefits to using NordVPN?
See Everything
Overcome internet censorship – Content providers commonly region code material making it only available to certain regions of the world. You may be surprised to see what Netflix has available if you use the NordVPN application to log into a server in a different nation.
Prevent Hackers
Protect yourself on public wifi hotspots – Any unsecured network like wifi hotspots in airports and coffee shops can allow attackers to intercept and steal data or inject malicious information into received data. NordVPN encryption defeats wifi attackers on unsecured hot spots.
Protect Your Privacy
Protect against authorized or unauthorized surveillance – No personal or internet activity records mean your internet activity or history cannot be recorded.
NordVPN encrypts all data moving to and from your device and NordVPN servers adhere to a strict no-logs policy. This means attackers or the Internet Service Provider (ISP) cannot see what you are doing online and the VPN server does not retain any information to be able to identify that activity or associate you with it.
Browse Freely
Avoid bandwidth throttling – Many Internet service providers (ISPs) have identified certain types of websites as undesirable and will attempt to reduce the amount of bandwidth available to you when accessing those sites.
This is known as bandwidth throttling and means the ISP is slowing down data upload and download speeds to you on sites it chooses. By masking all internet activity from the ISP, you are no longer subject to this bandwidth throttling.
WHAT IF I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SECURITY?
CAN I STILL USE AND BENEFIT FROM NORDVPN?
Yes. The NordVPN Software acts like any other software you are familiar with using in the sense you log in with a username and password.
From there think of the VPN as a simple on/off switch. Clicking a button will connect you to the VPN enabling the protection and benefits mentioned above. Clicking the Disconnect button will disconnect you from the VPN.
It is that simple, the software will take care of the rest.
