How does it work?
While browsing the internet using a VPN, third-parties (such as your Internet/Cellular Provider) will not be able to see what you are doing online. Your browsing history will not be trackable at the network-level. A VPN will also hide your location and encrypt your data for additional privacy.
Third-parties or hackers at places like coffee shops, hotels, airports, and other public places will not be able to intercept or steal your data. This includes friends, family, and network administrators at home or the office as well, unless they gain physical access to the browser on your device.
Unlike a secure web browser, a VPN will protect and encrypt your entire internet connection. Learn more about the differences here.
Additional Information
By using a VPN you are getting a completely random IP address that can only be traced back to us, leaving you completely anonymous and protected. However, keep in mind that if someone physically accesses your device, your web browser may store your browsing history (depending on your settings).
If you want to keep your browsing history private on your device, it's important to either clear your browsing history every so often, or use Private browsing also known as Incognito mode in your browser.
Our Webcam Privacy add-on includes Real-Time Protection, that allows you to clear your browsing data periodically. It also helps protect your system by automatically keeping your PC clean and free of junk files on a daily basis.
