While VPNs offer excellent security for your online data, they do not directly protect against viruses. Thankfully, with ESET Home Security Ultimate you’ll get our world-class antivirus solutions included with VPN.

VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network” and is a type of technology that enables individuals to connect to the internet securely and privately. The VPN encrypts the user’s data transmitted from their device to a remote server so their online activity remains confidential, even on public networks. The VPN feature provides an extra layer of security, as when connected, it makes it more difficult for users’ online data to be tracked or stolen.

VPNs have several crucial functions that improve users’ online security and privacy. They can hide a user's IP address, making it difficult for third parties to find out where the user is located and helping to disguise their identity online. VPNs also create a point-to-point tunnel from a user's computer to a remote server. This allows data to be encrypted and transmitted securely.

A VPN can bring a wealth of benefits to your online experience. Firstly, you will have greater online freedom - this is especially important when accessing information that may be unavailable in your geographical location. You can also be confident that your online data and browsing history are secure and cannot be accessed by third parties.

With a VPN, your location and IP address are masked. This ensures that any malicious third parties or internet users are unable to track you, providing an extra layer of security. In addition, VPNs can help to bypass government restrictions, surveillance or censorship, allowing you to access the content you want, wherever you may be.

VPN providers own remote servers all over the world. This means that no matter where a user is located, they can connect to the internet privately and anonymously. VPNs work by masking the user’s IP address so that when they access the internet, the VPN shows as the source of their data, rather than their location.

As the VPN also encrypts all of the information in the point-to-point tunnel (the user’s online activity and data), if unwelcome third parties do access it, it is completely unusable.

ESET VPN offers a selection of 67 different countries, each with multiple potential server locations. View the full list of available countries within ESET VPN.
