Five Reasons to Use a VPN on Your PC

Here’s a situation most of you (hopefully) can resonate with: you know what a VPN is and you’re running it on all devices you use outside of your home network. You do that to keep your privacy and sensitive data safe from hackers on public WiFi hotspots. But you don’t always use the VPN on your PC, because it is connected to your secure connection at home.

In case you didn’t realize, your home network is not as secure as you think it is. Plus, keeping your data private and staying anonymous are not the only reasons to use a VPN on PC. Whether you are using your PC for browsing and online shopping or a hardcore gamer and streamer, stick around for 5 reasons to use a VPN on PC.

Security is the number one reason to use a VPN on PC. The computers we use (whether desktop of laptop) are exchanging data, syncing your emails, social media accounts and other profiles. And just like on your smartphone, a hacker can intercept that traffic and get a hold of your credit card numbers, social media passwords, and so on. These attacks include eavesdropping, man in the middle or phishing – you can learn more about these attacks here. 

Here are some other reasons to use a VPN on PC:

2. To unblock restricted content and bypass internet censorship.
3. To avoid ISP throttling.
4. To torrent worry free.
5. To get exclusive deals online which are only available to users from other regions (special pricing, special power-ups for online games, etc.)

All pretty good reasons to use a VPN on PC, right? But wait, there’s more. 

I hear you, fellow gamer! You don’t want some program crippling your internet speed for the sake of online security and privacy while you wait 24 hours to finally login to the Classic WoW server. But what if I told you you can have both, the speed and the security, plus potentially more speed?

It’s a proven fact that VPNs slow down your internet speed. Sadly that is just the nature of the beast, you can’t have encrypted data without it impacting your speed. Oh, wait, you can, if you use a bonding VPN.

Speedify is a VPN that, as the name suggests, can help you get better internet. Speedify is a bonding VPN which encrypts your internet traffic and gives you complete online privacy and anonymity. It allows you to bypass government restrictions and access blocked websites.

As a channel bonding service, it can combine multiple internet connections simultaneously to provide more reliable and faster internet. This way, Speedify eliminates slow downs associated with most VPN services, and can actually improve your connection speed.

With its channel bonding technology, Speedify allows you to take advantage of all the connections you have available. Along with speeding up your connection, Speedify also offers failover protection. This means you will always stay connected, especially useful if you are live streaming on Facebook, Twitch, YouTube or Blender – err, I mean Mixer. And with its boosted speeds you can forget about the slow connection associated with most VPNs.
