VPN Lag: It’s a Drag!
There are many good reasons to use a VPN. These privacy solutions are an excellent way to prevent sensitive information—such as browsing data, financial histories, or private communications—from being exposed to third parties. VPNs have become essential for staying safe online, offering users much stronger opportunities for censorship resistance, and for freer exploration of the web than is possible when simply browsing the Internet unprotected. Particularly in places where website blocks have been put in place by Internet service providers (ISPs) or governments, VPNs can be an essential tool for accessing the Internet.
