First, you connect to a VPN server, which allows your device to establish an encrypted connection (sometimes called &#8220;tunneling in&#8221;). Then, all of your internet traffic is routed through that server, thus hiding your <a target=\"_self\" data-id=\"b621f727-e436-41a0-a62f-6b05f5c69b3e\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/how-to-change-ip-address\/\">public IP address<\/a> and physical location. The encryption also scrambles data related to your online activity, rendering it unreadable to hackers or cyberthieves.<\/p>\n<p>VPNs are no longer just a &#8220;niche&#8221; nice-to-have technology for businesses, according to the report cited above. The projected growth of VPNs through 2030, it says, underscores the urgency we feel to keep our data secure.<\/p>\n<p>Maximum Market Research expects North America to dominate the VPN market, with approximately 41% of the market share by 2030.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnet.com\/tech\/services-and-software\/vpns-are-in-high-demand-for-these-main-reasons\/#ftag=CAD590a51e\" class=\"button purchase\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More<\/a><br \/>\n Alex Valdes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all have concerns about online privacy and security, and that&#8217;s not changing anytime soon.
