A VPN is more important than ever

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is crucial for anyone who values privacy, especially as laws like the those passed in an increasing number of US states for age verification, the UK Online Safety Act and similar legislation around the world that give governments broader powers to monitor online activity. While presented as a way to keep users safe, these laws can allow authorities to scan private messages and browsing data, raising serious concerns about surveillance and censorship. These regulations in many countries are threatening encryption and pushing for more control over what people can see and share online. A VPN helps protect against this by encrypting your internet traffic and routing it through secure servers, making it harder for ISPs, advertisers, or governments to track you. This safeguards not only your privacy but also your freedom to access information without fear of being monitored, making a VPN an essential tool in today’s increasingly surveilled digital world.
