What Is VPN?

[K11]

VPN, also known as Virtual Private Network in Turkish, is a technology that allows connection to different networks through remote access. In English, it is named Virtual Private Network. A VPN creates a virtual network, and a device connected to that network exchanges data as if it were physically connected to it. VPN secures your connections and ensures that your passwords and identity remain anonymous. It also allows access to websites that are restricted. In this context, it is strongly recommended for internet users in underdeveloped countries to use a VPN.

Purposes of Using VPN:
- Providing internet freedom in underdeveloped countries where valuable sites like Wikipedia are blocked.
- Protecting your passwords and credit cards from internet service providers and potential hackers.
- Accessing your computer at home or work while traveling.
- Ensuring privacy in sensitive transactions.
- Accessing websites blocked by country restrictions.
- Using torrents.

How to Choose a VPN Provider:
- Pay attention to having no central headquarters, or if there is, it should be in a developed country.
- The absence of log policies is crucial.
- It should be constantly available.
- Its IP addresses should not be blacklisted.
- There should be no blocked sites within the VPN.
