When you connect to a VPN server, your data is encrypted and routed through that server. This gives you two benefits: anonymity and security. Anonymity because your real IP address is hidden behind the IP address of the server, and security because the data is encrypted so it can’t be intercepted en route.
However, when you connect to a VPN server, your traffic still has to go through that server before it reaches its destination on the internet. That means your connection will be slightly slower than it would be without the VPN.
The other downside to using a VPN is that some websites and services may block VPN traffic. This is usually done by looking at the IP address of incoming traffic and comparing it to a list of known VPN addresses. If there’s a match, the traffic is blocked.
That said, there are ways around this issue by using a technique called “IP masking.” With IP masking, your traffic appears to come from a different IP address than it really does. That way, even if the website or service you’re trying to access blocksVPN traffic, it won’t block yours specifically since it appears to come from a different IP address entirely.
Do note that not all VPN providers offer this feature though, so if IP masking is important to you, make sure to check before signing up for any particular service.

A VPN, or virtual private network, is a secure tunnel between your device and the internet. When you use a VPN, all of your internet traffic is routed through the VPN server. This means that anyone snooping on your connection will only see the IP address of the VPN server, not your real IP address.
This has several advantages for working from a different state. First of all, it allows you to appear as if you are accessing the internet from the location of the VPN server. This can be useful if you want to access geo-blocked content or bypass censorship filters. Secondly, it encrypts all of your traffic, which prevents anyone from spying on your activities.
If you want to use a VPN for work, we recommend using a paid service such as ExpressVPN or NordVPN. These services offer fast speeds and reliable connections. Free VPNs tend to be slower and less reliable, which can make work difficult.
