Why You Should Not Use Free VPN

-

Have you ever wondered why there are paid VPNs? When there are so many free VPNs accessible, why would anyone pay for one? If you've been thinking about these kinds of questions, this essay is for you. All of your queries on this topic will be answered. In this essay, I'll explain why you shouldn't utilise a free VPN service. Simply read the post carefully and attempt to grasp each of my points.

In this article, I will primarily discuss five important reasons why you should not utilize a free VPN. So, these are the five points:

Compromising your Security

We all know that free VPNs display advertisements because they rely on advertising to make money. However, you should be aware that advertisements can include viruses. If you click on any of the advertisements, you will be taken to their website. That website could have malicious code, allowing attackers to effortlessly steal your information.

Tracking your Online Activity

According to a survey, 72 percent of VPNs include third-party trackers embedded in their programme or software. The basic function of a tracker is to keep track of your internet activities. Let me give you some names of VPNs so that you can trust me, and most of you are familiar with them or have used them previously. Betternet, Opera VPN, and Hotspot Shield are among free VPNs that track your internet activity (free version only). There are a slew of other free VPNs that track your online behaviour.

Slowing Down your Internet

The majority of free VPNs are of poor quality, which can cause your internet connection to slow down. VPNs slow down our internet connection to persuade users to upgrade from the free to the paid version. So it's a marketing plan to slow down your internet connection.

VPN can Often Fail at Unblocking Content

Many people use VPN to gain access to online information that is unavailable in their own country. Allow me to give you an example so that you may fully comprehend. If you're from India and can't watch the same Netflix movies as Americans, there's a solution. So even if you connect to an American VPN, you won't be able to watch the same video. VPNs frequently fail when it comes to unblocking content.

Ads

The final point concerns advertisements. I don't believe I should inform you about advertisements. When we watch advertisements, we all have the same reaction. I used certain VPNs a few months back that displayed 4 to 5 adverts on one page and automatically opened ads. This is really inconvenient, and it also eats a significant amount of our internet bandwidth.

Conclusion

In this article, I've explained why you shouldn't use a free VPN. I've only mentioned five important points, but there are many more. I hope you found this post to be useful.

Google Passkeys: The Beginning of a New Era in Online Security?

Google recently unveiled "passkeys," a new tool that makes logging into your Google account more convenient and safer. Traditional passwords, which can be challenging to remember and frequently result in security breaches, can be replaced by passkeys. We'll examine passkeys in more detail in this blog article, including what they are, how they operate, and what they portend for internet security in the future. What are Passkeys? In simple terms, passkeys are a form of two-factor authentication (2FA) that substitutes a cryptographic key for a password. You'll be asked whether you want to make a physical key or use your phone as the key when you set up passkeys for your Google account. When you log into your account, this key is then used to confirm your identity. How do Passkeys work? The Web Authentication (WebAuthn) standard, which is a relatively recent standard for user authentication on the web, provides the foundation of passkeys. You will be asked to tap a physi...
