Many people on the Internet advise you touse a VPN  on your computer to protect itself. Of course, many Internet users also browse on Internet with their phone – and they may want to protect their browsing habits there. Here's why you'll want to use a VPN on your phone, too.

Monitoring of mobile data providers

The VPN offer protection against your ISP monitoring your browsing usage and potentially limiting certain types of usage or selling your data to advertisers.

Any internet, application or system traffic will be encrypted and your ISP will not be able to analyze it.

Please note:: your phone calls and your SMS use a different system and will not be obscured by your mobile data provider.

Unsecured Wi-Fi Hotspots

Another major benefit of a VPN is to protect your device's communications when connected to a unsecured Wi-Fi hotspot.

VPN encryption ensures that a hacker on the same WIFI connection insecure that you cannot listen to your web requests and steal the data you send.

Location-based filter bypass

A VPN can hide your IP address and replace it with an address from another country. It can help you bypass geographic restrictions.

Note: your mobile operator will always be aware of your actual location because you will be connected to a telephone mast in your country.

Link VPN

One advantage that some VPN providers can give to mobile phones is a service called “backhaul VPN”. A link VPN uses all of your phone's network connections to maximize your available network speed. This means that when you are connected to a Wi-Fi network, a link VPN can use both your Wi-Fi and your mobile data connection at the same time, to provide you with the best possible internet speeds.
