Why Internet Users Must Use VPN? – Part II

Posted: 16 Aug 2011 12:06 AM PDT

As promised, after my first list Why Internet Users Must Use VPN? – Part I, here goes the part 2. When I was about to start this article I was confused as to what else should I write? It looked like I had already covered everything in part I of this series. After some digging and googling I knew I was wrong. Internet is full with brick walls and situations where users are forced to either leave the scene or try to camouflage themselves in order to fool the service. This is when VPN services come in handy and their uses just don’t seem to come to an end.

2 creative ways to use VPN Service

I guess I did well to wait for the weekend to be wrapped up before I compile this article. I got the chance to read Heryzo’s 2 creative ways and I must say they are really very much unique. Sometimes, it is your daily lifestyle which helps you innovate new ways out during problems and this article is just the same. It gives you a brush with your daily problems and how you can tackle those with the help of VPN services.

Download Files Without Waiting

I am sure we all have been through road blocks where a website would ask us to either register to download our next file or wait for XX minutes in order to download that file. These websites track your IP address and block it for XX minutes so as to force you to register. The best that you can do is either restart your Internet Connection (if your ISP gives you dynamic IP address) or otherwise use VPN service to hide your IP address. No more wait times while downloading nulled themes or cracked softwares

Avoid Tracking

You know this, right? The moment you are up to something suspicious on the Internet then you are inviting authorities to grab you. Although it depends on the intensity of your activity before they actually think about catching you. With a VPN service you can hide your IP address even from your ISP (if your VPN service is really good) and that helps you surf the Internet anonymously! Go crack the whip and spill some blood. Nobody will ever know if it was you.

Avoid Hot Spot Sniffing

With the advent of Wi-Fi technology, Hot Spots have popped up in almost every busy place on this planet. Airports, coffee shops and hotels have Wi-Fi hot spots and we are happy to use them. Recently, hackers have used such Wi-Fi hot spots to hack into various other computers using the same Wi-Fi. This is when a fake IP helps a lot. You are safe if you cover yourself under a VPN service. Nobody will be able to track if you are even present on that Wi-Fi.

I am sure that you guys have much more uses of VPN and I would love to know them. I will include them in my upcoming articles with proper backlinks
