First of all, let's explain in a broad way what does VPN help? (Virtual private Network).

As the name says, a service VPN helps us connect from PC or on mobile phone, at a private network through which to "iesim” on the Internet. In this way, IP address (Internet Protocol Address) The real user remains free from the eyes of the curious. A webmaster that we access from our phone would have access to sensitive data about users if they do not use a VPN connection. When we access a website, we have data stored about the location based on IP address, data about OS that we use, and other identification data stored in the phone or personal PC. You've probably heard of "cookies policy”And you have noticed that on most sites you are intampinyou have with acceptance of these policies.

A small scenario. You have one in the house Wi-Fi, UPC Internet provider and one iPhone connected to Wi-Fi network. When you access a web page, you have automatically made this data available to the website administrator. It will be very easy to establish the area / location from which you accessed the web page, what you searched for on the web page, how long you stayed and other such information.
When you are connected to a VPN network, the location data will be completely different from the real one. The IP address of the VPN will appear. This can be from anywhere in the world, the data about the operating system and other data on the iPhone will be hidden.
Another aspect is data protection in the wireless network or against the internet provider. Internet traffic made from your network can be monitored. The Provider has access to see the sites you have accessed, downloaded from the Internet, IP addresses that have interacted with your mobile phone or PC. Using VPN, you only see the data transfer between your device and VPN. The rest of the internet traffic is done on the private network.
In short, with a VPN connection, you will hide your identity on the Internet.
