How Does a VPN Hide Your IP Address?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many online articles and ads say a VPN will \u201chide\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/whatismyipaddress.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">your IP address<\/a>, but what exactly does that mean?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First \u2013 here\u2019s an overview of how the process works:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You use a VPN app to connect to a VPN server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The server and app establish a secure connection between them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>From then on, when you visit a website, your connection requests to it will go through the VPN server. Normally, they\u2019d only go through your ISP network.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Because your connections now work like that, any website you visit will only see the VPN server\u2019s IP address. So your real IP address is \u201chidden.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Feeling confused? No problem. Here\u2019s a very basic example: let\u2019s say you use a VPN server to visit Facebook. Here\u2019s how the connection will look like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Your Device -&gt; ISP Network -&gt;VPN Server -&gt; Facebook<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See how the VPN server acts as a middleman? Because of that, Facebook will see the connection requests coming from the server, not your device. So, the site will only see the server\u2019s IP address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_How_Much_Does_a_VPN_Cost\"><\/span><strong>2. How Much Does a VPN Cost?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many people seem to think VPNs are very expensive. While it is true, you might find VPNs that cost around $9.99 per month (so over $100 per year) or more, there are plenty of services that cost less than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As far as we can tell, a VPN will usually cost around $5 per month on average (so $60 per year). But there are also VPNs that cost as little as $1.94 or $1.50 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Can_a_VPN_Prevent_Malware_Infections\"><\/span><strong>3. Can a VPN Prevent Malware Infections?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes and no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, a VPN can offer indirect protection from malware by blocking your connections to malicious or phishing sites. Basically, some services have firewall-like features that blacklist shady domains. <a href=\"https:\/\/nordvpn.com\/features\/cybersec\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">CyberSec from NordVPN<\/a> is a good example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No, a VPN can\u2019t protect your device from direct infections. It\u2019s not programmed to work that way. The only way to stay safe is to use a quality antivirus program \u2013 like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.malwarebytes.com\" rel=\"nofollow\">Malwarebytes<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eset.com\/int\/\">ESET<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Can_Your_ISP_See_Youre_Using_a_VPN\"><\/span><strong>4. Can Your ISP See You\u2019re Using a VPN?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, they can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing \u2013 when you use a VPN, you use your ISP\u2019s network to connect to its servers. Your connection to the VPN server doesn\u2019t bypass your ISP. If it would, that would mean the VPN could offer you Internet access, and it can\u2019t do that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t worry, though \u2013 your ISP can only see you\u2019re using a VPN. They can\u2019t see what data you share with it. Here\u2019s a list of the things they see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The VPN server\u2019s IP address.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The connection timestamp (when you connected to the server and disconnected from it).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How much data you exchange with the server.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What port your connection uses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Does_a_VPN_Keep_You_Safe_from_Cookies\"><\/span><strong>5. Does a VPN Keep You Safe from Cookies?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not exactly. VPNs can\u2019t protect you from tracking cookies. They are text files that end up on your device when you visit a website. There\u2019s no way for a VPN to intercept them and store them on its servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, VPNs could offer protection against a very special kind of cookie \u2013 ISP supercookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wait what? Supercookies? What are those? And what does your ISP have to do with them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, supercookies are a way for your ISP to track your online browsing more in-depth. They contain UIDH (Unique Identifier Headers) which identify your devices on your ISP\u2019s network and track what you browse online with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And here\u2019s the kicker \u2013 you can\u2019t get rid of supercookies by clearing the cookies in your browser. Your ISP inserts them into your data packets when you go online, and then stores them on their servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Creepy stuff, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, it\u2019s true that ISPs normally have to ask for customers\u2019 consent to use supercookies. If they don\u2019t, they can end up getting a huge fine<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2016\/3\/7\/11173010\/verizon-supercookie-fine-1-3-million-fcc\" rel=\"nofollow\"> like Verizon did<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t expect your ISP to ask for consent directly, though. You probably already gave it when you agreed to their ToS and signed the contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s where a VPN comes into play. Instead of arguing with your ISP about this, just use a VPN to encrypt all your traffic. Since your ISP can\u2019t spy on it (AKA analyze and intercept your data packets), they shouldn\u2019t be able to insert supercookies into it anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"468\" height=\"263\" src=\"https:\/\/www.biztechpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/VPN-Questions_Answer.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-32583\" style=\"width:807px;height:454px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.biztechpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/VPN-Questions_Answer.png 468w, https:\/\/www.biztechpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/VPN-Questions_Answer-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/www.biztechpost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/VPN-Questions_Answer-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 468px) 100vw, 468px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Can_a_VPN_Increase_Your_Speeds\"><\/span><strong>6. Can a VPN Increase Your Speeds?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, no. On the contrary, VPNs usually lower your speeds \u2013 especially if you use a server that\u2019s very far away. It takes longer for data packets to travel between the app and server that way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, the encryption-decryption process takes its toll on your online speeds. If you have an older CPU, the slowdown might be pretty noticeable even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, there are two scenarios when a VPN could potentially improve your speeds (not by a lot, though):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>When your ISP throttles your bandwidth. Basically, that\u2019s when they lower your speeds because you use too much data on a specific web service (like Netflix). Well, with a VPN, they can\u2019t see what sites or web apps you binge, so they can\u2019t selectively throttle your speeds for them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>When your ISP uses a poor routing path for your traffic. There\u2019s a chance (albeit a small one) they might use a more efficient path when you connect to different VPN locations.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_Other_VPN-Related_Questions_Do_You_Want_Answered\"><\/span><strong>Have Other VPN-Related Questions Do You Want Answered?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Leave them in the comments or send them directly to us through email or on social media.
