While having a safe and user-friendly VPN on your computer is great, don’t forget that it is common for software including VPNs to crash. It is an unavoidable occurrence that might lead to unrecoverable damage such as leakage of sensitive information.
The best way to avoid issues like this is to get a VPN with a kill switch. Private Internet Access is such a VPN. This software automatically disconnects your PC from the internet whenever there is a break in your VPN connection. That way, your private data is safe.
If you notice that your internet speed is getting slower while using a VPN, don’t freak out. It is a normal occurrence caused by poor quality VPN servers, bandwidth limitation, and even distance.
Using a trustworthy VPN, choosing a wired connection instead of a wireless connection, and closer and faster servers will help to hasten your internet speed.
