Watch your favorite shows anywhere, and other useful VPN functions
In simple terms, a VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a connection between a group of discrete networks that exchanges encrypted data between your computer and a distant server.
Sounds like boring technical jargon? Well, VPN’s can actually be used to perform some pretty neat tricks online that you’ll be missing out on if you don’t employ the services of these privacy boosting devices:
Safely access a work or home network from far away
VPN’s are an essential tool for professionals out there who travel and have to access important files from a distance. Individuals can use a VPN to access network resources even if they’re not physically connected to the same LAN (local area network).
Why are they perfect for dealing with important data from afar? Well, a VPN is also an efficient and easy way to maintain your privacy when you’re surfing the web. In fact, many experts recommend the use of a VPN when browsing the Internet on a public Wi-Fi hotspot as they guarantee that all the data you’re sending and receiving is encrypted and inaccessible to hackers.
If anyone tries to pry on your internet activity, all they’ll see is the VPN connection, all other data will remain anonymous.
Avoid censorship and detection online
A controversial function of the VPN for sure, they can be used to bypass government censorship anonymously. Whether you agree or not with censorship online, it’s an undeniable fact that certain websites are blocked for legal reasons, almost every government worldwide blocking certain websites within their country.
Meanwhile, the ability that a VPN gives its user to go undetected online has been highlighted in the news recently as police in Holland confiscated 2 servers from VPN provider Perfect Privacy without releasing a public statement.
The German and French governments also want to controversially force mobile operating systems, by law, to allow them to access encrypted content if they deem it necessary in federal investigations.
Watch your favorite shows online wherever you are
Here’s where the fun begins! Many, many people are using VPN’s merely for entertainment purposes. The reason for this? Companies like Netflix, Youtube and Hulu use geo-blocking mechanisms to make some of their content unavailable outside of certain countries due to legal requirements appertaining to arguably outdated content laws in this age of free information.
In fact some people argue that, though this is only speculation, the content laws being so outdated, recent attempts by companies like Netflix to crack down on VPN usage have only been for show. In other words, the streaming giant wants to keep Hollywood distribution companies, who are responsible for creating a great deal of the content shown on Netflix, happy whilst harboring no real desire for making it harder to access their shows worldwide.
As an example of the numbers, in the US, Netflix offers the full experience of roughly 7000 shows, whereas in the UK slightly more than 4000 are available. Countries that have only been reached by Netflix recently are far behind.
Netflix though, has recently been trying to crack down on VPN usage, whilst also admitting that it is almost impossible to do so effectively.
The company’s Chief Product officer recently said that “since the goal of the proxy guys is to hide the source, it’s not obvious how to stop VPN Users. It’s likely to always be a cat-and-mouse game.”
Though the streaming company have blocked certain VPN users from accessing the site, providers like Express VPN and Buffered VPN claim to have great success at getting around these measures.

Hi. Have you been able to confirm that either ExpressVPN or Buffered work with Netflix abroad? Companies claim things all the time. I recently tried PureVPN after seeing them make similar claims somewhere, but things did not work at all. Thanks!
Hi Tim,
ExpressVPN does indeed bypass the Netflix ban on a couple server locations . These servers may change over time and we don’t want to draw undue attention to them, suffice to say they do stream video from US Netflix in good quality from out of country. We recommend to hop on the 24/7 live chat support available on the ExpressVPN website and ask what servers to use.
Thanks!

Good post about VPN and its benefit.
Are there any cons of using VPN?
Hi Mark!
Every good thing in the world has some downsides. Similarly, using a VPN service has some disadvantages.
– Speed, performance, and cost. Good encryption always introduces an element of lag. Using a VPN service can slow down your Internet connection’s speed because of the processing power required for encryption. If you want to get an optimal connection speed, you will have to pay for a decent commercial VPN service.
– Security loopholes. VPNs aren’t entirely secure, yet you need a reliable VPN server to stay safe online. Again, you’ll need to pay for it, although not heavily. So, if you want to be protected, be ready to pay for a decent VPN service. That’s why Panda Security’s VPN comes with a free antivirus.
– Click-bait VPN providers. A lot of free VPN apps are available for Android and Apple devices, and it’s easy to be lured into installing and using them. However, some of these free apps are actually fake VPN services that may put your online data and security at risk by either collecting and selling your personal information or just not doing the work they claim to do (like protecting critical data).
We hope this information helps!

It is an interesting article to read and you perfectly described each point about Virtual Private Network (VPN) in the blog post. One of the main advantages of a VPN is that you can easily watch or stream your favorite TV show, web series and movies by using VPN.
I usually watch live cricket and football matches by using VPN in my computer system. We do not require purchasing any paid membership for watching matches after using VPN. It also offers fast speed streaming.
Keep sharing informative stuff with us. Thank you so much.

I’ve been using VPNs for around 2 years now, we started with IPVanish but that soon had problems with streaming media online when we went abroad to Cambodia.
Everyone seems to recommend ExpressVPN now but we’re a little skeptical, we’ve recently used ProtonVPN and had no problems at all, they also over a ‘secure-core’ feature which I think is massively underrated.
