The use of VPN services have exploded in recent weeks. As we know, this type of tool is very useful to improve Internet security and it also allows us to access certain content or networks from other places as if we were there. Many companies use them to connect their employees to computers from anywhere in the world. In this article we echo a story that reports on how VPNs are firing due to the coronavirus.
VPN services skyrocket
This whole coronavirus crisis is causing major changes in society. In one way or another it is affecting us all. One of the most visible changes for thousands and thousands of people both in Spain and in other countries is being telework . Until now it was not something that was really widespread in our country, but in recent weeks the number has increased.
What does that mean? Among other things, it causes users to use more VPN services . After all, sometimes it will be necessary to connect to the work network. It is also important to always preserve security and make our connection encrypted. However, we must always bear in mind the importance of choosing services that are reliable and do not compromise our data.
An example is the NordVPN provider. As we know it is one of the most popular in the market and has announced a growth of 165% of daily users on average. Google, the search giant, has ensured that VPN-related queries have grown 6 to 10 times in recent weeks. Other VPN providers like Atlas VPN have indicated that their traffic has skyrocketed.
We are undoubtedly living a time of changes at all levels and also in factors related to our theme. VPN services, as we see, are more booming than ever. They are necessary in many cases and highly recommended in others.
Many will wonder if all this increase can also affect the quality of the service , cause a drop in speed, etc. From Atlas VPN they have indicated that until now it has not affected their networks. The service continues to operate normally and they are not experiencing any loss of speed or the like.
Work more safely
Most users use these types of services to improve security when working on the Internet. As we know, a VPN is capable of encrypting our data. In this way we prevent potential intruders from accessing the information and putting our equipment at risk.
There are many VPN services that we can use. They are present for all kinds of devices and operating systems. However, keep in mind that not all are equally safe. It is important that we correctly choose the tool that we are going to use. The idea is to prevent it from affecting our security and compromising our information.
