International VPN Day is August 19, why does that matter?

August 19th is International VPN Day. The event was first suggested by cybersecurity company NordVPN to remind people about the importance of cybersecurity education because every year, the number of cybersecurity attacks increases by 30% on average.

The company encourages users to take the National Privacy Test to mark the occasion and assess their cybersecurity knowledge.

Last year, 24,311 respondents from 197 countries took the test to celebrate, and the results showed that while people know a lot about being safe online, their habits still remain poor.

Invented in 1993, the VPN is a cybersecurity tool that helps its users to encrypt their network to have a safer, more private, and less restricted internet connection.

Today, 142 million people use VPNs for privacy, security, and more internet freedom. That’s a third of all internet users.

International VPN Day is celebrating a private, safe and liberated internet

“Every year, the demand for VPNs is growing worldwide. In fact, it is now six times higher than for another well-known cybersecurity solution – antivirus. That shows how the tool has become mainstream as a result of people caring more about their safety and privacy online. Celebrating International VPN Day is celebrating a private, safe, and liberated internet,” says Daniel Markuson, a cybersecurity expert at NordVPN.

8 reasons to use a VPN

1. Browse privately

We believe every individual should be able to communicate and access the free internet without instantly giving up their right to a private online experience. Using a VPN can give you back some control over your data and who gets to see it, log it, and monetise it.

2. Bypass censorship

No matter where you are, access anything that you need. If you are an activist or a journalist visiting or living in an authoritarian country, stay confident in your privacy and bypass censorship.

3. Secure public Wi-Fi

If a Wi-Fi connection isn’t encrypted, connecting to it could expose your browsing activity. A VPN protects you by encrypting your internet connection, limiting the risk of getting your payment details stolen while using public Wi-Fi.

4. Work and study from anywhere

Access your work or university network from anywhere in the world. Not only will a VPN help secure you from third parties and cybercriminals online, but you’ll also be able to switch your location and access your usual websites and networks.

5. Save money on flights, hotels, and rentals

Connect to servers in other countries to stop price discrimination. The trick is to make it appear as if you’re browsing from a country where the prices are lower.

6. Download and upload files securely

With a VPN, your IP stays hidden and your online traffic is encrypted so that no one can see or intercept it.
