Most of the time, when we say VPN We are thinking of a Private network who will Protects online identity or to allow us access to certain types of content to which we would have limitations from our location. Well, VPN (Virtual Private Network) can also be seen as an efficient security method when we have to access remote sensitive data.

And network administrator or of Serve web / email, most of the time they prefer to use Private networks (VPN) to Connect to the infrastructure. The advantage is that it is eliminated The risk of interacting with third -party factors that could stand between the Internet connection from the device, offered by the internet operator and the remote infrastructure. In addition. VPN-having IP dedicated, the infrastructure may be set to allow no connection from that IP. The risk of connecting unauthorized persons is eliminated, even if they have a user / access password.

Many provider provides VPN services, and the costs vary depending on the speed of the connection, the volume of traffic made by VPN, dedicated IPs and features.

Last fall, Cloudflare launched the application 1.1.1.1 which allows Android and iOS smartphone users to connect to a VPN service of the company. Free. Once connected through the 1.1.1.1 application, DNS-ul (Domain Name System) to the Internet operator you are a subscriber will be changed with the one allocated by the cloud. It changes practically IP-ul “output” On the Internet, and the data traffic between the source accessed and the device will pass through the VPN service from Cloudflare. At the same time the IP is changing “output” on the Internet. That way you will be able to escape from geographical restrictions put by certain sites.

Compared to the classic VPN that offers PRIVACY And he will Anonymous navigation, the one offered by Cloudflare is a little different. If a major event occurs, such as an online crime, while you are connected from the VPN provided by Cloudflare, you should know that the real IPs and identification data of the devices are stored for 2 years by Cloudflare. In addition, the 1.1.1.1 service does not guarantee that the same outgoing IP will always be assigned to the Internet, when you have a VPN connection. However, Cloudflare has developed 1.1.1.1 To give extra security to those who connect to sensitive information on the networks WiFi public, unsecured. In these scenarios, the use of VPN 1.1.1.1 will ensure an “tunel” Secured between your device and server or service to which you connect via the Internet.

Cloudflas went on, and in the autumn of this year launched WARP. An integrated service in the application / serviceDNS 1.1.1.1 Al Cloudflare, which, although it will not hide the origin, adds more security through an additional encryption of the VPN connection.
And this additional service is free, but to avoid network congestion, for a quick and stable connection, Cloudfre offers WARP+with a monthly subscription.

From our tests we noticed that leaving the permanent active VPN on the iPhone, consumes the battery quite quickly through the background process, but it is advisable to install 1.1.1.1 and activate the VPN when you are connected to an unsecured WiFi network from a public mall.
