VyprVPN review: secure Internet usage with abundant international servers

May 17, 2014

If you read our recent Freedome review, you know the reasons you might want to utilize a VPN (Virtual Private Network): privacy and spoofing your location. Freedome proved good at both, but VyprVPN from Golden Frog is in another class when it comes to location spoofing, with servers in 38 separate countries, including a small-fry like Luxemburg (sorry, Luxemburgers...). You can pretend you’re from almost anywhere with VyprVPN. A VPN service works by directing all Internet traffic from your PC through a server in a remote location. Data is encrypted at your PC and decrypted at the server, which then handles the data transfers as if they were its own. As far as anyone knows, you are the relay server. To see this in action, install a VPN service trial, then browse to whatismyip.org or whatismyip.com. The IP address you see will be the server’s. Turn off the VPN service, refresh the page, and you’ll see your real IP.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here
