There are many advantages to using a VPN like VPN Lightning. The number one reason is to secure what you send and receive over the internet.  For example, do you make any payments or purchases over the internet? Do you login to your bank account? If so, then you should seriously consider using a VPN service as it will protect your social security number, credit card information, banking credentials, medical records, etc. from Cybercriminals who may use this information to make online purchases for themselves, obtain credit cards in your name, and much more. With VPN Lightning you no longer need to be concerned about these security risks while online.

VPN Lightning is a Virtual Private Network, which functions by utilizing an advanced encryption that grants communication of data to remain anonymous and secure between two or more parties. In simple terms, image you and someone else come up with your own language that only you two can understand. This is what a VPN does so others such as Cybercriminals, your Internet Provider, Big Tech and Government are unable to interpret what you are doing online. A VPN Lightning also does not use your IP Address, so it keeps your physical location secure. Nowadays, it does not matter why you are online. Without the correct protection, your front door is always left open. With VPN Lighting’s secured VPN service, you will always remain secure and safe.

Encryptions are Binary codes and the longer the binary key length is, the stronger the encryption. Binary code consists in either numbers 0 or 1 and if each bit of data has these two possible values, then a key with 128 binary digits (128-bit) can have 2,128 possible combinations, which would take something like 1,022 years to check every possible key. Consider 256-bit keys, then, and the result is the impenetrable encryption.

Encryption is the core component used by VPNs to keep internet users secure from Hackers and Cybercriminals from stealing your personal information, credit cards, banking credentials, etc. or Internet Service Providers and Big Tech Corporations from selling your online activity to 3^rd party companies for profit or Governments restricting or censoring the information you are trying to access online.

Yes, but when it comes to Mobile Data connections, things work differently. For example, a 2G,3G, 4G and 5G-enabled devices connect to the internet through their cellular provider. Basically, they receive data from the cellphone company the same way they receive a mobile phone signal. Therefore, you can usually access internet wherever there is a mobile connection. In addition, data sent on a 4G network for example, is already encrypted, unlike Wi-Fi connections.

However, this does not mean that 4G cannot be monitored or even compromised. Sure, it is safer than using a Wi-Fi connection, but it can also endure some security breaches. Fact is, many mobile and tablet applications monitor our online and even offline activities, such as your current and visited locations. Data can be collected by the companies behind those applications and then used for their own financial gains. In other words, if they can access this information, so can hackers and Cybercriminals. In addition, personal information such as medical records or banking information can also be exposed if there is a security breach.

Here is why, when you stream services such as but not limited to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Sling TV or simply watch YouTube videos, all demand high bandwidth levels in order to stream. Fact is, when you use what your ISP considers too much bandwidth in a short period of time, your ISP will eventually throttle your download speed. This then impacts your streaming experience with buffering and other annoying issues.

You may say to yourself, well this does not apply to me as I pay for unlimited internet services. This is simply not true. Truth is, this is a policy that ISPs have implemented so they can profit large sums of money by blackmailing streaming service providers. There are known cases of ISPs without cause, charging Netflix for example a large fee to avoid having their services throttled. Even worse, when ISPs do this out of pure greed you think you are paying for a service that does not provide the bandwidth you are subscribing for and/or forces you to upgrade your internet speeds to a higher package which puts more money in your ISP’s pocket.

Using VPN Lightning helps prevent your ISPs from doing this to your internet service. VPN Lightning uses encrypted software that keeps your online traffic anonymous therefore, preventing them from monitoring your data packets while you are online. In return, this now gives you full bandwidth when streaming your favorite Movies, TV Shows and YouTube videos.

You may also need to restart the device you are using or your modem. Modems can periodically slow down due to a memory leak in their operating code. Restarting your modem refreshes their connection and will improve your speeds.
