How VPN Encryption Works

A VPN creates an encrypted connection between a compatible client and a VPN endpoint.

What to do

  1. Install the client supported by your account and connect using its valid configuration.
  2. Check connection status before browsing or transferring sensitive information.
  3. Continue to use HTTPS: the VPN tunnel ends at the VPN server, while HTTPS protects the application connection to the website.
  4. Keep your client updated and use provider-supported protocol settings.

Keep in mind

A VPN changes the network path and public IP seen by many sites. It does not remove malware, erase cookies or guarantee anonymity.
