Understanding VPN Technology
VPN technology, standing for Virtual Private Network, creates a secure encrypted tunnel between your device and the web, shielding you from potential eavesdropping, meddling, and online censorship.
Consumers use VPNs
Individual users employ VPNs to maintain their online security and ensure their web activity remains confidential.
Companies use VPNs
Enterprises leverage VPNs to link remote employees, creating a virtual local network that connects everyone as if they were in a central office, although individual benefits might be less compared to a personal VPN.
Benefits of personal VPN
Change Your Location
Utilizing a VPN changes your IP address, the unique identifier that signals your location worldwide. A new IP address obscures your identity and actual location. With DingoVPN, you can appear to be in dozens of meticulously selected locations.
Protect Your Privacy
Changing your IP address with a VPN shields your identity from websites, apps, and services wanting to track you. Quality VPNs, like DingoVPN, also prevent your internet provider, mobile carrier, and any potential eavesdroppers from seeing your activity, thanks to robust encryption.
Boost Your Digital Security
A VPN safeguards you from various security breaches, including packet sniffing, malicious Wi-Fi networks, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Travellers, remote workers, and all mobile individuals use a VPN whenever they're on an untrusted network like free public Wi-Fi.
Situations for VPN Usage
If privacy is important to you, you should use a VPN every time you connect to the internet. A VPN app runs in the background of your device, so it won’t get in the way while you use other apps and browse the internet. And you’ll have peace of mind knowing your privacy is always protected. But here are some situations in which a VPN is especially useful:
Travels
Traveling the world shouldn't mean altering your internet habits. A VPN allows you to use the internet as if you're still in your home country, no matter the distance you travel.
Entertainment
A VPN lets you enjoy the sites and services you prefer without ISP throttling potentially detracting from your experience or outright blocking by your ISP or local Wi-Fi network.
Public Wi-Fi
Connecting to public Wi-Fi hotspots like in cafes, airports, and parks could expose your private information. Using a VPN on your devices ensures your safety with robust encryption.
Gaming
A VPN unlocks games, maps, skins, and other add-ons that might be restricted on your network. It also protects you from DDoS attacks and reduces ping and overall lag.
File-Sharing
P2P file sharing usually exposes your IP address to strangers and they may track your downloads. A VPN keeps your IP address private, enabling you to download with enhanced anonymity.
Online Shopping
Some online stores display different prices to people in different countries. With a VPN, you can find the best deals worldwide, no matter where you're shopping from.
How does a VPN work?
To understand how a VPN works, it helps to first understand how your internet connection works without one.
Without a VPN
When you access a website without a VPN, you are connected to that site through your internet service provider (ISP). The ISP assigns you a unique IP address that can be used to identify you to the website. Because your ISP is handling and directing all your traffic, it can see which websites you visit, and your activity can be linked to you by that unique IP address.
With a VPN
When you connect to the internet with a VPN, the VPN app on your device (known as a VPN client) establishes a secure connection with a VPN server. Your traffic still passes through your ISP, but your ISP can no longer read it or see its final destination. The websites you visit can no longer see your original IP address, only the IP address of the VPN server, which is shared by many other users and changes regularly.
Here are several key concepts related to VPN that will help you understand how a VPN works and the benefits it provides:
Proxying
Your VPN server acts as a placeholder for your online activity. Instead of your actual IP address and location, the websites you visit will encounter the IP address and location of your VPN server.
This helps increase your anonymity on the internet.
Authentication
Creating a secure connection involves intricate mathematics, a process known as authentication.
Once authenticated, the VPN client and VPN server can be sure they are talking to each other and no one else.
Tunneling
VPNs also protect the connection between client and server with tunneling and encryption.
Tunneling is a process by which each data packet is encapsulated inside another data packet. This makes it harder for third parties to read in transit.
Encryption
Data inside the tunnel is also encrypted in such a way that only the intended recipient can decrypt it. This keeps the contents of your internet traffic completely private. Even your internet service provider won't see it.
Understanding VPN Protocols
VPN protocols are the procedures that guide how your device forms a secure connection with a VPN server. Some protocols are built for speed, others for security, and others still operate best under certain network conditions.
While many VPN services adhere to a standard set of protocols or stick to one like OpenVPN, DingoVPN utilizes WireGuard, an industry-respected protocol that delivers excellent performance across many systems, making it incredibly versatile. Test it out and see the difference for yourself.
DingoVPN automatically selects the most suitable protocol for your network, but you also have the flexibility of manual selection.
Commonly used VPN protocols include:
- OpenVPN
- IKEv2
- L2TP / IPsec
- PPTP
- WireGuard
- SSTP
Different Types of VPNs
A personal VPN, also called a commercial VPN or a consumer VPN, is a private service offered directly to individuals, usually for a fee. DingoVPN is such a service as it focuses on addressing the privacy concerns of its users.
A business VPN, also referred to as a corporate VPN, enables an organization’s remote workers to connect securely to the internet as if they were actually present in the office. However, corporate VPNs are primarily designed to safeguard the privacy of the company, not necessarily the individual.
Some tech enthusiasts and DIY fans opt to set up their own VPN using their own hardware. However, DIY VPNs do not offer the protection of shared IP addresses, server locations in multiple countries, or many other features enjoyed by users of commercial VPN services.
Alternatives to VPN
A VPN isn’t the only tool that can increase your privacy, security, and/or freedom online.
Tor
Tor (short for The Onion Router) is a free network of servers, or “nodes,” that randomly route internet traffic between each other in order to obfuscate the origin of the data. Using Tor can significantly increase your anonymity, and using Tor in conjunction with a VPN creates the best possible privacy protection. The biggest drawback of Tor, however, is speed. Because your traffic is relayed through several hops, you will probably find it inconvenient to download or file-share with Tor.
Proxy services
A proxy server is any intermediary between your device and the internet. Unlike a VPN, however, most “proxy services” you’ll find are quite slow and don’t offer any privacy or security benefits. So-called “free proxy services” are especially dangerous, as many will find other ways to monetize your data, like selling it to third parties.
Neither Tor nor a proxy service can replace the benefits of a VPN. A trustworthy VPN is still the best privacy solution for most people.
FAQ
How do I choose a VPN?
The most important quality to consider when choosing a VPN service is trust. A trustworthy VPN provider: - is transparent in its privacy policy - has been independently audited - designs its systems to avoid storing personal data - shows a consistent commitment to internet privacy and digital freedom Thereafter, choose your VPN based on the features you need, such as VPN server locations, compatibility with all the devices you own, and unlimited bandwidth.
Why should I pay for a VPN?
It’s hard for a free VPN to match the features and service of a quality paid provider. With free VPNs, you are more likely to experience slow connections bogged down by a flood of users on suboptimal networks, no customer support, weak security, and a small number of VPN server locations to choose from. As a premium paid provider, DingoVPN can offer connections optimized for speed, security, and stability, as well as a wide selection of server locations around the world. Plus, our dedicated Support Team is available 24/7 to help.
Are VPNs legal?
VPNs are legal, and they are consistently used by individuals and companies around the world to protect their private information and online activity, including in countries with highly restrictive governments. Even where VPNs are seen as discouraged, many governments tacitly endorse their use by officials, academics, or business leaders as a necessary measure to stay competitive in an interconnected world. It is not practical for any country to ban all VPNs. Having said that, illegal online activity remains illegal, whether you are using a VPN or not.
Can I use a VPN on mobile? Why would I want to?
With apps for iOS and Android, DingoVPN is easy to use on mobile devices. As more of our digital activity—including banking, streaming, and messaging—happens on our phones and tablets, it is becoming more important to safeguard our data with a VPN on these devices, especially when using public Wi-Fi.
Will a VPN slow down my internet?
VPNs have the potential to slow your internet connection, but DingoVPN’s use of the WireGuard protocol means users rarely notice a difference. In fact, use of a VPN may actually improve your connection if your ISP has been throttling your traffic. In any case, if you do notice that your connection has slowed down, try selecting a server location that is geographically closer to you.
Do VPNs drain battery?
Like all apps, a VPN will consume some amount of power on your device. However, DingoVPN's use of the WireGuard protocol is designed to be more energy efficient compared to other protocols.
Can you be tracked if you use a VPN?
DingoVPN believes everyone has a right to privacy. When you connect to our network, strong encryption prevents your activity from being observed by your internet provider, Wi-Fi operators, or other third parties. DingoVPN collects no activity or connection logs, and our commitment to privacy ensures that no specific network activity or behavior can be traced to any DingoVPN user.
Is using a VPN safe for online banking?
Using a VPN is not only safe, it can add a valuable layer of security to your online banking, especially on public Wi-Fi networks. And because some financial institutions will suspend access to users who appear to be visiting from somewhere unexpected, connecting to a server location in your home country before you log in to your bank or PayPal account can save you from getting locked out.
Should I leave my VPN on all the time?
We recommend that you keep DingoVPN on anytime your device is connected to the internet, even if you’re not actively using it. By leaving the app running in the background, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your privacy is always protected.
