If you want to protect yourself from hackers, ad agencies, your internet service provider and the National Security Agency, then you're going to need more than an incognito browser. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are a great way to encrypt your data and make it appear like you're browsing from a different server somewhere around the world. And besides shielding your browsing activity, VPNs can let you access sites restricted to certain countries. Hello U.S. Netflix while on vacation. What's up, BBC iPlayer during Wimbledon?
Once connected, a map appears showing your new virtual location, while other panels display a host of connection details: your server IP address, load and latency, the amount of data used on the current day, your current transfer speeds, and the name of your local network (handy as a reminder when you're connecting to wireless hotspots, say). It's a little cluttered and could intimidate not-so-technical users, but if you're not interested in the stats, they can all be safely ignored.
