VPN
A VPN, or virtual private network
is one of the smartest ways to protect your online privacy
and maintain your data security.
You can set up your own VPN that connects to your home router.
It will keep your data private if connected to a public wi-fi
but the speed will be limited to your upload speed.
It also be will not hide your location.
If you really need the speed
you probably should go ahead and pay for the service.
It is about $10 a month
with discounts if you pay for a year or two.
You should not trust your internet service provider.
Your ISP is allowed to sell your browsing history
and allowed to throttle for different types of content
or for traffic from given companies.
If your ISP is slowing down your content based on what it is
one way to prevent this might be to use a VPN.
VPNs cloak your computer's actual IP address
Learn the company's terms of service
VPN services, while tremendously helpful, are not foolproof.
