Yes, A VPN is the primary solution of Online privacy as it hides your IP. But there are many other reasons why people prefer to use a VPN service. Below are the 6 reasons which will explain you how does a VPN helps you in different fields; either unblock websites or secure your system from snoopers.
1. Access Blocked Websites or Break Geo Restrictions
So it's time to gain ultimate freedom on the cyberspace by unblocking all restrictions that stop you to access your favorite websites. Many countries want to have a control over the internet; They block specific websites for public access e.g. Facebook and YouTube are blocked in many Islamic countries. But people still want to access these websites in these countries as they are their favorite. Every country binds this restriction to its IP address means you can’t access these websites under this IP. As you know that a VPN changes your IP with another location IP (other country) so this is the primary reason why we use VPN; to gain access to our favorite Websites in restricted regions. Similarly many schools don’t want that their students access Facebook at school so they block its access. But in this fb world you can’t stop student to access Facebook at school as they have Hotspot Shield free VPN to unblock Facebook at school.
2. Be Anonymous (Safe from Snoopers/Hackers)
A snooper is a person that steals your info/data from your system by tracking your system through its N/W IP address. But if you a VPN then it will change your Network IP with a virtual IP address so whenever a hacker/snooper will try to track you he will always see this virtual IP and can’t detect your location and system. So always remember to use a VPN service to be anonymous during your online transactions to hide your credit card details from IP trackers.
3. Encrypt Your N/W Traffic and Browsing Session
Do you know that every data/files transmits over the internet in an IP data packet format; Hackers use some IP trackers to capture info from these IP packets but is You use Hotspot Shield free VPN then this will encrypt these data IP packets and it becomes a hard task for a hacker to detect and understand the real data format.
4. Risk Free Internet Access at Public wi-fi and Hotspots
Stop broadcasting your personal data and emails at public wi-fi and Hotspots as they remain open for public to access the internet without any proper security module. So these Hot Spots become the Home for Hackers. So you must use a VPN whenever you use the internet using public wi-fi or in Hot Spot regions like Hotels, Airpot etc.
5. Hide Your Browsing Log From ISPs
Do you know your ISP always have an eye on your internet activity by tracking your browsing logs. They track it to control your internet access.

use Hotspot Shield on Windows OS to hide my session from my ISP.
