What’s a VPN?

This is a question that confuses many people as in order to know the meaning of a VPN (Virtual Private Network), some basic technical knowledge is required.

However, a non-technical friendly explanation would be a VPN being a service which you pay for and which allows you to go anonymous while surfing the web with the help of a temporary IP address that masks your true IP address, so you don’t get spied on and hacked.

How Does a VPN Work?

Here is how a VPN works…

Your IP address is basically the number provided by your internet company which enables you to surf the web. Like any private number, an IP address contains sensitive information like computing location.

When being overly exposed, an IP address can  be used for hacking your own devices as well as obtaining all your basic private data, and be used to track all of your moves as well as take control over your private network.

A VPN provides a shield which allows you to

  • Be Safe
  • Be Undetectable
  • Have a wider and better internet access

Knowing the Benefits

Here are the top 5 benefits of having a VPN for Kodi

  • You stop worrying about getting fined for mistakenly downloading copyright protected content: As a matter of fact, Kodi’s design is pretty basic and simple, therefore it can become more dangerous as many addons are written by independent programmers that have nothing to do with Kodi, with their extensions written in a way that is compatible with the system.
  • You can access geo-blocked content: We understand how frustrating it can get when you try to watch content just to come across that annoying block telling you that the content cannot be reproduced in your country. Because VPNs use an IP address located in another country, you can break that barrier immediately.
  • Your ISP gets faster: This means that you can watch long videos without having to wait the extra time for the whole video to download because your ISP slowed down.
  • For your eyes only: Because you surf the web anonymously your ISP won’t see your digital footprints that put you at risk of being spied on or hacked.
  • Easy as 1-2-3: The installation and setup process is totally user-friendly.
