Virtual Private Network

How Does a VPN Work Technically?

When the connection has been established with WiFiber's VPN server the following will happen to your data traffic:

1. The VPN software on your computer encrypts your data and sends it to the VPN server through a secure connection.
2. The encrypted data from your computer is decrypted by the VPN server.
3. The VPN server will go on the internet with the decrypted data and will receive all traffic sent back, that is meant for the user.
4. The traffic is then sent back to you (the user) after the VPN server encrypts it.

The VPN connection will encrypt your data traffic, making it virtually impossible for hackers or governments to intercept it. The secure connection also provides the user with anonymity because your internet traffic is rerouted through an external VPN server. Because you are surfing the web via the IP address of the VPN server your own IP address will stay hidden. Normally your location and even your identity could be revealed through your IP address because it is unique to your internet connection. By using a different IP address on the VPN server none of your actions online are traceable to you and you can now cruise the web anonymously.
