There are many ads we see daily about VPN apps for our iPhonewith offers of 80%, or free monthly tests, selling that they are necessary for our privacy and security, however, are they so important in a mobile phone, or is it something more necessary on a PC?
We are going to see the answer and our opinion in this regard, since the iPhone itself has security measures that could replace the use of them, although in certain cases they will also be necessary, so everything will depend on the use you are going to give it or search for such a tool.
Do I need a VPN on my iPhone?
First, we have to know what a VPN is for, either on an iPhone or another device, and that is that a VPN (virtual private network) is a tool that allows create a safe and private connection through the Internet. When using a VPN, data traffic between the iPhone and the VPN server is encrypted, which protects your privacy and safety when navigating. It also allows you to hide your real IP address and seem that you are sailing from another place.
This is very good if we do not want web servers to discover data about us, however, to navigate, we will not be in danger, so the main function of a VPN corresponds to the second point, and it is simulate that we are in another place, something that is used a lot to be able to access restricted content in a particular country, or if we have been banned from a place and we want to understand that place that we are not the same person, to access.
However, there is something that iPhone performs directly, as well as the rest of the phones, and it is hide our address if we sail With data, since these, unlike a Wi -Fi network, will not have a geolocalizable IP, and you will appear on the map of your country randomly, so, if we only worry that they discover where we live, or we want to make fun of a ban, by putting data we will have already achieved it.
Otherwise, and really looking for an online privacy, the VPNs are a very good option, however, we will have to pay for them, since most free have a very slow connection speed, and you will not be able to watch a film in Netflix that belongs to the catalog of another country, for example, since it will go so slow that it will be very annoying that every few seconds are cut.
In summary, we cannot say that a VPN is good or bad, but will depend on the need of each one, although we have already seen that if we only want to hide our location, it will be enough to put the mobile data. This will not prevent you from knowing from which device we sail, or what app we use for it, but something is something. And you, do you use any tool of this style? Leave us a comment with your opinion about it, and to use one, what is and the reason for it.
