You find it creepy that having googled for a new car, you now find yourself inundated with car-related ads.
Solution

Challenge
Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) doesn’t like torrents, never mind that they are used legally. So seeing that you use them, your ISP slows your internet speed way down.
Solution
By encrypting your web traffic, your ISP can’t see which services you use, and so won’t throttle your speed.

Why should you use a VPN?
Stay safe on public Wi-Fi networks
Surfing online is inherently insecure, especially when connected to a public Wi-Fi network. The reason: other people in this network can access and steal your data. Browse anonymously with an active VPN connection to encrypt all the data received and sent and protect yourself from hackers. This way, your passwords and personal data are safe. The encryption feature is important when you connect to Wi-Fi in a restaurant, cafe, hotel, the airport, or any other public network.
Protect your data and privacy
While surfing, you leave traces and companies track your activities for targeted advertising or to collect and sell information about you. Establish a free VPN connection to browse anonymously online, protect your privacy, and prevent advertisers from targeting you. The IP address of your device is hidden, and others cannot monitor your activities.
Use online banking securely
Online banking on the go is very convenient. When travelling, you might even use public Wi-Fi networks. The unfortunate truth is that sometimes these connections are less secure and may be exploited. The added security of a connection via VPN means that your sensitive data, such as bank or credit card information, passwords, and private e-mails are kept safe, at home or on the go.
Bypass geo-restrictions with Avira Phantom VPN Pro
Avira Phantom VPN Pro enables you to choose a custom location, giving you access to geo-restricted content. By picking one of our 150 servers in 37 countries around the world and hiding your real IP address, you can easily browse from a different virtual location, bypassing geo-restrictions and regional censorship.
