IP Leak Protection. Stop IP Leaks of Your Online Activity.

There are two critical ways that a VPN guards your private information and improves your online security.

1. Connecting to VPN servers masks your IP address for better privacy. That means that the personal information normally indicated by that number is hidden behind those VPN servers.
2. A VPN encrypts your data. PrivadoVPN uses 256-bit-AES encryption, which means that your data is systematically scrambled before it leaves your computer. That information then travels through an encrypted tunnel, through the VPN, to the destination computer. Only when the transfer is complete will a "private key" be used to unscramble the files into usable information.

The world's fastest computer would take 27,337,893,038,406,611,194,430,009,974,922,940,323,611,067,429,756,962,487 years to break 256-bit encryption by brute force. Put another way: 27,337,893 trillion trillion trillion trillion years. This is the best form of encryption on the planet and the gold-standard for online security.

Without high quality encryption, your connection just isn't secure. Good Internet security requires a VPN that can both hide and guard your data.

First of all, without a VPN, anybody can watch what you do online. In fact, somebody stalking a server connection probably has several times and you had no idea. Encryption makes that activity impenetrable.

Secondly, a VPN often has better encryption options than other protective measures. A VPN server is made with security in mind, so it will be able to employ better encryption than your personal system.

An IP leak is when your computer gives away private information about you despite having security measures in place. The most common way this happens is when you use a lower quality VPN that either doesn't have or doesn't force your computer to use secure servers. Frequently the default servers that your ISP connects to don't have very good security and can be watched by threat agents, risking your privacy. Using a good VPN like PrivadoVPN, you'll always use secure servers to prevent detection of any of your private information.

A DNS leak is a type of IP leak where your VPN doesn't have secure Domain Name Servers to help your computer look up where to find the information you want. Again, by using the default servers, you run the risk of having your real IP visible. That's why it's important that your VPN uses secure DNS for all web requests.

Yes, that is possible. Web pages often rely on third-party applications that can introduce vulnerabilities and leaks into the process of using them. Similarly, some pages don't have proper security installed at all, since it can be expensive or complicated to set up correctly. Some websites leak your IP address or other browser data.

Fortunately, using a VPN can make up for that by directly encrypting your connection. While a web page might not have great security, with a VPN you'll be totally protected.

Whenever you try to access a website or resource of any sort, you first have to know its IP address. A Domain Name Server (DNS) is a special computer that keeps records of what devices are connected to what IPs and which URL names.

Unfortunately, it's possible for an unsecure DNS to let your personal information leak out when your computer makes a request. A secure DNS, on the other hand, not only makes sure that your web requests are encrypted, but also filters potentially harmful web pages out of your request, keeping you safer from malware and leaks.

While you don't have to, you can certainly use this tool on your VPN connection. In fact, you should try looking for leaks without a VPN, then make note of any leaks you do fine. Then sign on to your VPN and again look for a leak. You shouldn't find any leaks at all. If you do while connected to your VPN, your provider is not using a secure server for your IP address.

Yes, it is possible for your web browser to share your data and put your privacy at risk. Most people's browser has some basic privacy protection, but ultimately it's a bad idea to rely on your browser to protect yourself.
Instead of using your browser to keep your privacy secure, try PrivadoVPN. We will give you the additional protection you need so that your videos, games, downloads, and yes, your browser don't leak your personal information.
