With Best Encrypted VPN's
Setting up a Encrypted VPN on your home network could be very useful for someone that use public Wi-Fi and needs to be secure on the go especially for those who do online banking on public Wi-Fi.
VPN(Virtual Private Network): is an Extension of The host network connect over the internet to simulate being the host local group allowing the user to excess locally networked file more commonly to excess the internet through the hosts network.
A VPN Tunnel: The Path the data take from the user to the host for example if you had a VPN on you home network running bell and you were at a friend’s house using the internet over your VPN the VPN tunnel would be “Friends Modem/Router >> Rogers ISP Servers >> Bell ISP Severs >> Your Modem/Router >> Bell ISP Severs >> The Website Your Connecting To”.
- How to set up an Encrypted VPN
Setting up an Encrypted VPN is easier (No SSH) today with automated software for both any operating system with server emulators. My favourite software is OpenVPN because free easy to setup but does not have the best Encryption compatibility. If your serious about setting a VPN you should buy a VPN Router/Modem because it’s faster , your computer does not need to run 24/7 and is super easy to set up there basically plug in play.You’ll also may need VPN software on the device you are connecting to the host with again OpenVPN has a really good VPN client and if you’re on a smart phone search “VPN client” on in the app store/market. There are built in VPN client software in some mobile devices but there usually not very good.
- What uses are there for Encrypted VPN’s
Encrypted VPN’s on home networks have 3 possible uses; file excessing, masking for unblocking sites and securing sensitive data on public networks. Because you are connected to the network as if your computer is connected to the directly in router, you can excess all the shared network data. Because the local network only see’s the IP of the VPN hosts, you could to any website and the local network would only see 1 connection. Because all the data is encrypted, there no way for the local network to just scan network and see your passwords/emails/credit card numbers all they would see is encrypted data, of course they could just decrypted if they really wanted.VPN’s can also be used to lower bandwidth use of mobile networks by download the content on the VPN compressing then sending to the user to uncompressed and view but these days that’s not really important because anything large enough to be make significant difference is already compressed. So in the day and age I feel that it wouldn’t of any use to compress the data in the stream.
- VPN on Home Network Positives
Hosting from home you don’t have to pay fees and you know the VPN host isn’t looking at you data. Many people but VPN services to protect their data but bought them from some cheap hosting services in Asia and all their sensitive data was leaked on the internet; Moral if you’re going to VPN get it from someone known and trusted.
