🔐 Why To Have Your Own VPN 🔐

What is a VPN❓

A VPN or Virtual Private Network is a network between the VPN client(s) and the VPN server. The advantage of this network is, that it is fully encrypted and the whole network traffic of the VPN client will go through the encrypted tunnel.

The VPN client never access other (web)servers directly, everything will be requested from the VPN server and the VPN server will forward the request.

How a VPN doesn’t make you anonymous❓

When you connect your computer or phone to a VPN server, you establish an encrypted tunnel between your device and that server. Nobody can see what’s happening in the middle of this tunnel, not even your ISP.

And yet, it doesn’t make you magically anonymous. You’re just moving the risk down the VPN tunnel as the VPN company can see all your internet traffic.

Thats why buying a vpn service is not a good idea because at the end your data is sold for marketing.

Why do I want to host my own VPN server❓

Having your own VPN means that you have fully control over it and only you are able to read the logs of the server.
