What is a VPN?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the internet, protecting your privacy and data.
The Difference a VPN Makes
Without a VPN
- ISP sees all your browsing activity
- Websites see your real IP address
- Hackers can intercept data on public WiFi
- Your subscriptions may be unavailable while traveling
With OrbVPN
- All traffic encrypted end-to-end
- Your real IP is hidden from websites
- Safe on any network, including public WiFi
- Access content from anywhere in the world
How a VPN Works
Simple explanation, no tech jargon
You Connect
Open OrbVPN and click Connect. Your device establishes an encrypted tunnel.
Traffic Encrypted
All your internet traffic is encrypted using AES-256 encryption.
Routed Through Server
Your traffic goes through our secure server, masking your real IP address.
You're Protected
Websites see the VPN server's IP, not yours. Your ISP sees only encrypted data.
Your Device
VPN Server
Internet
Encrypted tunnel protects your data from your device to the VPN server
Why People Use VPNs
Public WiFi Security
Coffee shops, airports, hotels—public WiFi is a hacker's playground. A VPN encrypts your data so attackers can't intercept passwords, banking info, or personal data.
Privacy from ISPs
Your Internet Service Provider can see every website you visit and sell that data to advertisers. A VPN encrypts your traffic so your ISP only sees scrambled data.
Access Your Content While Traveling
Streaming services have different libraries in different countries. Connect to a server in another country to access content not available in your region.
Remote Work Security
Protect sensitive company data when working from home or traveling. Many businesses require VPNs for accessing internal resources.
Avoid Censorship
In some countries, the internet is heavily censored. A VPN helps you maintain access to the open internet.
Protect Your Family
One VPN subscription can protect all your family's devices—phones, tablets, computers—from online threats.
Common VPN Myths
Let's separate fact from fiction
Myth: VPNs are only for hackers or people with something to hide
Truth: VPNs are used by millions of ordinary people to protect their privacy, just like you lock your doors at home even if you have nothing to hide.
Myth: VPNs make your internet really slow
Truth: Modern VPNs like OrbVPN use optimized protocols that have minimal impact on speed. Most users don't notice any difference.
Myth: Free VPNs are just as good as paid ones
Truth: Free VPNs often make money by selling your data—the exact opposite of what a VPN should do. They also have slower speeds and fewer features.
Myth: Using a VPN is illegal
Truth: VPNs are legal in most countries. They're standard security tools used by businesses and individuals worldwide.
Myth: I don't need a VPN because I have nothing to hide
Truth: Privacy isn't about hiding wrongdoing—it's about protecting yourself from data breaches, identity theft, targeted advertising, and surveillance.
