Free VPN service for protecting your privacy
The growing concerns of many users regarding their online privacy have led to a sharp rise in the number of apps that provide services that protect it. Among them, we can find virtual private networks (VPNs) that are capable of hiding the IP address of an internaut by masking it behind a fake one when it routes data traffic through servers in geographic locations that are different from the real one. And among this growing supply, we have One Tap VPN, an easy-to-use and free app.
But why would I want to use a VPN to go online?
Browsing through a VPN offers three main advantages:
- Anonymity: the user's real IP address is not shown on the servers that are visited; instead, the one that gets logged is that of the server that we are using to navigate through, making it difficult to track the user.
- Freedom of movement: blocking due to geographic restrictions, sometimes for reasons of censorship, no longer works.
- Data protection: traffic is encrypted, making it more difficult to intercept.
This app offers a list of servers distributed around the world; to connect to them, all we have to do is press on the one we want. It is a free service, but if we want a faster connection and to get rid of ads, we will have to purchase the app's premium version.
Requirements and additional information:
- Minimum operating system requirements: Android 5.0.
- Offers in-app purchases.
