What does a VPN do?

A virtual private network (VPN) conceals a device's IP (internet protocol) address when it connects to the internet. This means that any website or platform you visit will be unable to see your current location. Following the announcement by the Ministry of Information and Culture banning users from using their IP address to access Twitter, all network providers blocked their users from using their IP address to access the social media platform. In theory, a VPN will change your network provider's assigned IP address, allowing you to access Twitter.

The risk associated with VPN's

While VPNs are advantageous in this regard, there are some risks or drawbacks to using them, particularly with untrusted VPNs. Despite using a VPN, your device is still vulnerable to malware and viruses, so be cautious of the websites you visit and the files you download.

In addition, VPN frequently slows down your internet connection. Yes, running a VPN in the background will slow your internet connection by about 10% to 20%. Finally, there's the concern about user data privacy. While the VPN allows you to access blocked websites such as Twitter, it also gives it access to your personal information. As a result, make sure you're using a VPN service you can trust.
