You have probably heard of them. Virtual private networks, or VPNs, are part of the basic tool kit for many people who use the internet for work or in their free time. While it may not be so familiar to every user, it is a tool that most people could benefit from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Basically a VPN redirects your internet connection through a server that is in the location of your choice. There are many truly free VPN providers<\/a>, and many of them will include encryption. If it comes with encryption, it will essentially scramble the data, making it nearly impossible for anyone to know your identity as you navigate the web. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that you know what they are and what they do, here are some of the things that people do with their virtual private networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Not only are some media libraries only available in certain areas, but many media catalogs have content that varies depending on where your internet comes from. For example, Hulu only streams to the United States, Puerto Rico, and United States military bases. Similarly, for many years, Spotify had severely limited geographic availability as well. Filmin is a popular movie filming service in Spain and Latin America, but is unavailable in the United States<\/p>\n\n\n\n Others, such as Netflix, will have different movies available in different regions. Because they have to buy the authors rights in each region, they spend their money in the ways that make most sense. This makes sense and allows them to provide the best selection to each country\u2019s public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Most video catalogs will work this way. Disney Plus and Amazon Prime both work this way as well. Some of the streaming services have ways of detecting the use of virtual private networks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Products change prices in different places in the world. We all know that wine is cheap in France, and that gasoline is cheaper in the United States of America. But these products are not so easy to carry across national borders and will likely be charged a tariff. However, some digital goods do not follow this same logic. <\/p>\n\n\n\nAccess Media Unavailable Elsewhere<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
