7 Reasons To Use A VPN for Your Business Computer
Today

• Do you know that using a VPN can be a great help
  in your business? This article talks about the
  advantages of using a VPN and why it's beneficial
  for your business.
•  
• If you have ever wondered what makes a VPN so
  special, read on. A Virtual Private Network (VPN)
  is an effective tool that can protect sensitive
  data and other assets of your business. The
  ability to secure your business network against
  cyber-attacks has never been more important than
  it is today.

• What is a VPN?VPN stands for Virtual Private
  Network. It is software that connects your
  computer to a secured data source over the
  internet. By connecting to a VPN service
  provider, you then move all of your computer's
  data to and from the internet through this
  protected service. That service is a private
  password protected server connection.Your
  computer connects to that network and not the
  free or public network connection. This protects
  all the data and prevents tracking of your
  computer, and you.

• There are various levels of data protection
  available from VPN networks. Most are good enough
  for the average business user. Just making your
  computer undetectable on a network is often
  enough to prevent random attacks.The level of
  protection you need to use will probably depend
  on the data you have on your computer, or that
  you access online. Years ago, when I worked for
  the Fortune 500 they required not only their own
  private secured network, but additional software
  on any company computers. This added level of
  protection was because that company was a bank
  and had a higher level of security built in.

• Even other Fortune 500 companies rarely have that
  high of a standard. If you run an agency or
  business like I do, you will want to protect any
  public connection to the internet with a sold VPN
  service provider.

• 1. Protect your privacy and security
• Keeping a VPN on when you use the internet not
  only offers added protection from hackers but
  also provides access to geo-blocked contentAll
  of which is accessible by selecting the
  appropriate global server location. The top free
  services, for example, are in countries like
  Luxembourg, Switzerland (and other non EU
  nations), France, Japan etc.. Monitoring
  monetization efforts and traffic trends can help
  data centric businesses naturally develop into
  highly profitable and sustainable sources.

• 2. Prevent data leakage
• Another major benefit of VPN usage is it provides
  great protection against traffic theft, as
  content being streamed or downloaded can be
  easily observedeven if you are browsing locally
  on your personal device whilst connected to a
  private network (VPN).. Note If this occurs in
  China the state monitoring authorities may
  intercept any requests for information from
  foreign Internet destinations that they choose to
  keep track of (e.g. US, UK)..

• 3. Prevent Attack by Hackers and Spammers
• Sending sensitive information over the internet
  (for example bank accounts or credit card
  details) could prove to be a serious threat for
  you as an employee / business proprietorA
  reliance on cloud based storage solutions might
  show that your companys confidential data has
  been stolen from someone else.. By making use of
  VPN services this is often prevented and
  customers are frequently welcomed with an access
  denied message when logging into their cloud
  storage / email service during the use of a
  foreign VPN..

• 4. Cyber Security
• A common hacker / malware attack is to intercept
  user-agent data. If youre already aware of what
  kinds of mistakes, hackers can make that may help
  other people track you down it makes sense to use
  a VPN service, as the Service Provider should be
  able to keep track with your activities in order
  allow appropriate action when required..

• 5. Prevent theft of your Intellectual Property
• If you're involved with any kind of product
  development, your IP (Intellectual Property) can
  be stolen when working remotely. Using a VPN

• 6. Get access to Geoblocked Websites (Such as
  Netflix, Hulu Skype etc.)
• Using geo-blocked services like Netflix is
  quickly increasing within today's modern world.
  The issue with these services is that they use
  geo-blocking to charge people within a particular
  countries different prices depending on the
  geographical location of their residenceVPN
  technology allows you to bypass any restrictions
  imposed by Netflixs proxy servers and therefore
  access your favorite TV shows no matter where in
  the world you live. This can be helpful if you
  travel a great deal for work and want to access
  your favorite programs and entertainment. It may
  also be necessary to access company assets that
  are blocked from other countries.

• 7Encrypt data while using Public Wi-Fi!
•     Because "wireless" networks are so popular in
  todays modern world, the transmission of data
  has become very important to us all. We depend on
  Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity) networks not just for
  internet access at home but also within cafes,
  airports and hotels etc.. When we use these
  wireless networks nowadays WEP/WPA/RADIUS
  Encryption is used by nearly every device
  available. Using WEP encryption, it's possible
  for a hacker within a Wi-Fi network to see the
  websites you've visited (if your web browsing is
  unencrypted) and even different notes that may
  contain sensitive information about yourself. To
  keep this under control, it's now recommended to
  use WPA/WPA2 Encryption instead of WEP
  encryption..  BUT, there are some instances where
  using an OPENVPN connection will be necessary.

• Make sure you protect your customer and business
  data with a VPN service. If you are a small
  business or agency owner, you may want to at
  least start with a free service like Open VPN.
  They offer up to 3 free business connections at a
  time. Which, as a solo business owner, should be
  all you need.Their connections are fast and
  stable however, some users may want to purchase a
  paid service. The next tier of paid services can
  be low cost lifetime deal services.A quick
  search of the term lifetime vpn deals will
  produce several results for you at any given
  time. One solid deal is Fastest VPN, and it
  offers multiple accounts with lifetime access for
  a one time low price.The next tier of service
  is paid services that charge per month or year.
  There are many providers and you should do your
  homework, but one worth mentioning is encrypt.me
  that has a good reputation. Popular and well
  marketed that you will see is Norton VPN they
  have a good reputation and have been available
  for several years.
