Using Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology will help users of Android-bases smartphones and tablets to solve a few problems.

Unlock websites – VPN helps to unlock access to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and other resources from your office or university network. You will be able to bypass filters and network firewalls setup by a system administrator in order to get access to your favorite content.

Anonymous surfing – using VPN you will be able to view web pages anonymously, not worrying that someone will find out what sites you visit, what messages you sent or what files you download online. VPN works as a proxy anonymizer by replacing your IP address by the address of one of our servers. That is why no one will find out your location.

Secure Wi-Fi – using public Wi-Fi hotspots implies risks for your confidential information, as anyone in this network can control and track your activity in the Internet. With the aim of VPN online surfing becomes secured from any location.

There are two major types of VPN connection – by PPTP and L2TP protocols or via OpenVPN protocol. In case of PPTP and L2TP the connection setup is performed by standard Android means. OpenVPN setup requires downloading a freeware application in Play Market.

In both cases, the process of setting up VPN connection on Android platform is very simple, and with our illustrated instructions you will be able to enjoy the benefits of VPN technology after a minute. Simply select the desired protocol and follow these steps.
