Do I need a VPN

So, you have never heard of VPNs? Well then, this paragraph is a must read for you! You may find Wikipedia articles as a source of good explanation, but they are a bit long. This is why we thought that we should try a hand at it. A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a server that you can connect with, so that you can re-route your internet activities. The server either completely masks your IP or makes it appear as you are visiting from the very same location. The concept of VPNs has changed drastically ever since it was first launched. About ten years ago, VPNs were servers located within firms. This allowed employees any work force to work from home, accessing the company’s server. Later on, they were used mainly to hide a user’s true online identity. In the last few months, VPN services have gained further significance due to the snooping revelations of NSA.
