What is VPN and why do you need it?
VPN, or virtual private network, adds an extra layer of protection to your browsing. Your web traffic is traveling through a secure encrypted tunnel, so nobody can spy on your activity.
Here’s how VPN in Documents can make your internet life better:
- Enjoy your favorite movies, music, and websites everywhere. Change your virtual location to access any website or app that may be restricted for you. Watch Netflix, Disney+ and Hulu, listen to Pandora, and enjoy many other services wherever you are.
- Keep your data safe online. When you use a public Wi-Fi network, hackers can easily steal your sensitive info like passwords and credit card numbers. VPN encrypts your data, so no evil eye snoops on you while you’re sending an important email or use internet banking in your local coffee shop.
How to use VPN in Documents
We’ve made it super easy to turn on VPN in Documents. Here’s how:
