Protect your Android Phone with a VPN Service

July 18, 2013

Android phones offer endless possibilities. They enable you to surf the internet with ease, share files, upload photos and videos on social media sites, and even let you access your PC remotely. But there’s always an ever present danger when you engage in such activities. Encrypted messages can be decoded using tools that are freely available on the internet. Hackers can easily steal your information (such as your bank account number) and use it to their advantage.

Imagine one day going to the bank and realizing that someone has just spent all your money shopping online! You’ll be bankrupt and devastated. Luckily, you can save yourself all this heartache with an Android VPN service.

What is a VPN Service and How do VPNs Work?

Protect your Android Phone with a VPN Service

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is one in which computers can be on the same network without being physically near each other.  A VPN service gives you endless possibilities with the benefits of guaranteed security. It creates a security tunnel between your device and the internet, basically offering you an extra layer of protection for your phone.

You can be dining in Italy, shopping in Dubai and making a financial transaction in China simultaneously without any fear! Let’s take another example. Some TV channels place geographical restrictions on accessing certain live shows or programs. However, a VPN blankets your IP making it appear that you are accessing the channel from their area. Similarly, a file you send over a VPN service encrypts the messages to such an extent that even hackers will have a tough time decoding them.
