5 Free VPN Applications for Android Devices

VPN stands for virtual private network, it’s essentially a way of securely transmitting data between your computer and another server over the Internet. A VPN server allows far-flung employees to effectively become a part of your non-profit’s secure in-office network over the public Internet. Think of it as a secure “tunnel” through which your data travels. The data that travels through this tunnel is encrypted, which goes a long way toward keeping would-be data thieves from eavesdropping on your remote workers.

Along With securing your data VPN can help you do various other things like:

• Helps you protect your identity on the web.
• Unblock geographically restricted websites: Use streaming services like Spotify, Netflix anywhere in the world.
• Access blocked sites on your Network: Access blocked websites on your network like Facebook on your school network.

Although Android is capable of connecting to a VPN on its own without the need of any third-party applications, but it is  easy to connect to a number of servers instantly using a third party application.
