What are the limitations of VPNs?
VPNs are incredibly useful and powerful tools, but they can't do everything.
|
1. Devices are not all automatically protected
|
|
If you use VPN software to protect your PC or smartphone, that's the only device that gets protected. To keep your data safe, you must install an app on each device that connects to the Internet (or use a VPN router).
|
|
|
|
2. Viruses and malware are still a threat
|
|
Most VPNs do not protect your computer from viruses or malware. You will still need to be aware of downloading suspicious files, especially via torrent and P2P networks.
|
|
|
|
VPN usually slows down your connection by 10%to 25% depending on the service, all thanks to encryption overhead, which can be frustrating.
