Why Does Covenant Eyes Use VPN?
Covenant Eyes is the leader in online privacy and anti-tracking protection. We’re the first company to integrate a VPN service with a web content blocker. Our browser extension stops online trackers from following you around the web while you browse, and our apps block dangerous content and prevent tracking.
Here are some of the reasons why we believe VPN is important for your online security.
Protecting Your Personal Information
If you’re reading this, then it means you’re interested in protecting your personal information online, which we applaud! But, keeping your personal information secure isn’t easy. Every day, you give personal information to websites and apps you trust. Suddenly, you’re sharing your personal details with a stranger, or even an unknown entity, over the Internet.
While traveling, this can be a serious issue. You may choose to visit some of the busiest airports in the world, which are often the target of cybercriminals. Imagine trying to follow the directions of the person helping you navigate the airport, if that person’s personal details, such as their login name and password, were stolen. This could put your personal details, as well as the security of your devices, at risk. By encrypting your data before they arrive at their destination, you guarantee that nothing can be read by anyone other than the person you intend to share it with.
Increasing Your Privacy
If you think that the government, or even a malicious individual, is listening to your phone calls, watching your online behaviour, and tracking your movements, you’d be right. Researchers from the Freedom of the Press Foundation (FoP) have found that a huge proportion of the population in Western Europe and North America believe that their phone calls and Internet activities are monitored. In fact, 58% of Americans polled said they thought their phone conversations and online activity were either frequently or always monitored by the government.
In an age where privacy is becoming a common sense issue, people are looking for ways to protect their personal information. And, thanks to VPN, they can. Not only will a VPN service protect you from the prying eyes of advertisers and other online entities, it will also allow you to have some control over how your personal information is used. When you choose to opt-in for VPN services, they will ask you for permission to connect to a VPN server, so it can ensure that all your personal data is kept private.
Having a VPN connection opens up a world of potential for your online security. Not only can you access content blocked by your country’s firewall, you can also browse the web privately, without being tracked.
Anonymity Online
For many of us, the issue of online anonymity, or rather pseudonymity, is a serious matter. After all, if you log in to a forum using your real name, then you’re putting your privacy at risk. Especially since the forum may well have a privacy policy that allows the collection and storage of your personal data.
While it’s always tempting to log in using your real name, or even your email address, forums can be dangerous if you do so. Hackers, or even the police, can find your personal details, and it’s then goodbye anonymity. But, with a virtual private network, or VPN, you can connect to a server which is based in a country, or continent, which has little to no respect for online privacy.
When you connect to a VPN, all your Internet traffic, including your online activities, are completely hidden. The only details which may be visible are your IP address and the address of the server you’re connected to. This level of anonymity can be very useful, especially if you’re concerned about your personal safety, or that of your family, in a foreign country. You can also use a VPN to access blocked websites, or content, which is otherwise not available in your area.
More Freedom Of Movement
According to a recent Global VPN Trends report from Parks Associates, consumers prefer to use a VPN if they need to be online outside of their home country.
With the development of Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), consumers have the ability to securely access home networks from anywhere. By encrypting all their online activity, including their browsing history, apps data, and email communications, VPNs ensure that their personal data is always safe and secure wherever they go.
Being able to securely access your home network from any compatible device, such as a smartphone or tablet, is ideal. This means you can use the same VPN account to access your files no matter what device you’re using. You can’t beat that!
Avoiding Throttling, Inhibiting, And Censoring
VPNs, by their very nature, are not susceptible to throttling, inhibiting, and censorship. This is because they operate outside of the scope of, or are in defiance of, any nation’s Internet Protocol (IP) address restrictions. As a result, content which is blocked by your country’s firewall can still be accessed via a VPN connection. This can be very useful when trying to access content which is censored, or simply unavailable, in your area.
Additionally, if you’re trying to view content from a country, which is either restricted or totally banned in your area, then using a VPN is the surest way to make sure that you see the content which the government would prefer that you didn’t.
Better Security
There’s a reason why VPNs are becoming the standard security measure for so many organizations and individuals: they’re simply better at keeping your personal data secure than most other online security measures. They implement cutting edge encryption technologies, regularly update their software, and ensure that their servers are always up to date with the latest security patches. This is crucial for keeping your data secure, as older software, and outdated configurations, can leave your device open to hacking attacks. And when you’re using software which is a decade old, you’re running the risk of having outdated security measures.
The bottom line is that VPNs ensure the safest and most secure experience when browsing the Internet. They also make it easier to access content, which may otherwise be blocked by your country’s firewall. Additionally, as the best VPNs use cutting edge encryption technology, they also make it easier for your data to stay secure, even when transiting public WiFi networks.
Compatibility With All Devices
One of the major draws of using VPN is the fact that it’s compatible with all your devices. This means that you can use the same account, log in, and all your devices will be able to access the VPN network. Thanks to the development of mobile VPNs, this is now possible on the go. Simply download a VPN app, log in, and you’re good to go.
This level of compatibility is crucial in today’s world. Being able to use the same account, and device, to access a secure and private network, such as VPN, is ideal if you’re traveling or, for some other reason, need to switch devices.
The best VPNs will also allow you to connect to servers, in different countries, to ensure that you always have a decent connection, regardless of which country you’re in. This is important, particularly if you’re connecting from an un-secure WiFi hotspot, or public place.
No Logs
As we’ve established, privacy is a major concern these days. Even tech-savvy individuals have their guard up when it comes to personal information. Therefore, having an Internet service which doesn’t keep any logs about your activity is a major plus.
VPNs don’t keep any logs either. This means that even if a hacker were to gain access to a server, or account, containing personal information, that information would still be safe. Since VPNs operate outside of the scope of, or in defiance of, any country’s Internet Protocol (IP) address restrictions, all your activity, including your personal information, is completely private and undetectable. This is why so many individuals choose to use VPNs.
