Why should you use a VPN service? A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, creates an encrypted tunnel through which your data can pass. This means that you can have a more secure internet connection, which adds extra protection against hackers, especially when you are accessing important private information.
As a location-independent entrepreneur, you probably take advantage of free Wi-Fi in cafes, co-working spaces, airports, etc. Making business or money transactions in these public places places you at risk of getting hacked, which is why a VPN service is important.
