On a technical level, it is required to communicate with other devices on local and public networks.<\/p>\n<p>A local network is the group of devices connected to your router(s) and the users spanning across the ISP\u2019s network. Due to a finite number of IP addresses available, these local networks connect to a single <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/blog\/find-routers-ip-address\/\">IP address<\/a> to the internet via the ISP.<\/p>\n<p>The ISP will return webpages to the correct user on the network when you initiate a request to open a website.<br \/>\n        <div class=\"iprovpn_btn_cta_row\">\n    \t<a class=\"btn_cta\" href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/buy-vpn\" title=\"Get iProVPN Now\">Get iProVPN NOW <i class=\"fas fa-long-arrow-alt-right\"><\/i><\/a>\n    \t<\/div>\n    <\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"VPN_for_Online_Privacy\"><\/span>VPN for Online Privacy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>VPN connects you to a remote server before accessing the internet. It acts as an intermediary for every request that you make. The web server connects to the VPN \u2013 to its IP address \u2013 which is why checking your IP address online will bring up the VPN server\u2019s IP address, thus <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/blog\/what-is-email-spoofing\/\">\u2018spoofing\u2019<\/a> your IP address.<\/p>\n<p>VPN is a quintessential tool for online privacy. It not only hides your IP address but adds a layer of security in the form of encryption. Encryption is ubiquitous in the modern world when protecting user data is concerned. Most of the web today uses HTTPS \u2013 a form of encryption that protects data while in transit and verifies the web server&#8217;s authenticity.<\/p>\n<p>But the encryption employed by VPN works on a lower-level and can encompass every type of traffic leaving your device.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Does_IP_Spoofing_Help\"><\/span>How Does IP Spoofing Help?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Spoofing the IP address can open up new possibilities, from protecting online privacy to accessing the internet with more freedom. Here\u2019s what you can expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Anonymous_Web_Browsing\"><\/span>Anonymous Web Browsing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>VPN encrypts your network traffic so that only the VPN server can decrypt it and send it to its appropriate destination. It protects data in transit. Not even the ISP can see your activities because the VPN server uses its own DNS server to look up the addresses that you request. A DNS server is like a phonebook that keeps a list of the IP address and the corresponding domain names.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, the ISP looks up the domain name from its DNS server. But that changes when you connect to the VPN server.<\/p>\n<p>Your ISP may be logging your every activity. It is true for internet service providers in the United States where the NSA keeps tabs on the internet and telephonic communication of the citizens. VPN spoofs your IP address and protects you against prying eyes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Bypass_Censorship\"><\/span>Bypass Censorship<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Governments often tackle freedom of speech by restricting what websites or services can be accessed in the country. It could also be due to political or religious differences.<\/p>\n<p>If you find yourself shackled by the country\u2019s imposition of dictating what you can and cannot access on the internet, use a VPN.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Access_Streaming_Websites\"><\/span>Access Streaming Websites<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Disney+ and <a href=\"https:\/\/iprovpn.com\/blog\/watch-hbo-max-on-roku\/\">HBO Max<\/a> are the hot new digital streaming services thanks to exclusive content. The problem? Both of these services are unavailable worldwide. So if you want to watch exclusives like The Mandalorian or Zack Snyder\u2019s Justice League, then you would need to log in from the United States or any other region where the service exists.<\/p>\n<p>Unfornatutely, much of the population is locked out. But a VPN spoofs your IP address to overcome the geo-restriction barrier. You could be in Singapore but connect to a VPN server in the USA to access such services.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Find_Cheaper_Fares\"><\/span>Find Cheaper Fares<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Did you know that a VPN can help you save money? Ecommerce stores and services often offer cheaper prices for emerging markets. You can tap into these discounts by connecting to a VPN, spoofing your IP address, and checkout using regional prices.<\/p>\n<p>Airfares are one such area where prices tend to differ in some regions.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"iProVPNs_VPN_Network\"><\/span>iProVPN\u2019s VPN Network<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Spanning 15+ countries, iProVPN\u2019s VPN network lets you go global from anywhere in the world.
