Users of any sports or soccer streaming website may ask themselves if it is advisable to use a so called Virtual Private Network when visiting Hesgoal.com. And in fact, VPNs are an effective tool in reducing the amount of personal identifiable information (PII) when using the internet in general. If you decide to use a VPN when using Hesgoal you should assume a certain performance degradation to the speed and quality the website and potential video content loads with. The reason for that is that in a VPN content, the data is always funneled through a virtual private network before it sends it out and receives it back from the world wide web (WWW). You as an internet user in this scenario are not recognized by any website like Hesgoal with your original ISP connection or IP address (an address in number format identifying you as a user of the world wide web). Instead, it is only able to capture generic information about your VPN provider which usually is curated with care and kept very sparse. This means that if there would be ever an investigation in the data stored on the servers running the Hesgoal side it would not be possible to detect you directly as a past user of the site. However, information about your browsing history usually is still maintained at the VPN provider company and in the past, there have been press releases about those companies having lacked proper security and confidentiality controls. Hence, if using a VPN provider fir Hesgoal is your preference, it is recommended to use an established provider like Surfshark or similar with sufficient security and data storage policies in place.
