VPN SERVICES

This is a service that lets you access the web safely and privately by routing your connection through a server and hiding your online actions. It can be compared as a ¨Fake GPS¨ which allows you to see things that are not available in your country.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

First, you look for VPN software or APP. Then, you start it, and this service encrypts your data hiding where you actually are. The data goes to the VPN, and the online website or app sees the data and location that your VPN server is providing. This makes you watch and find content available in other countries.
