Another common use case for VPNs is the ability to securely access online banking. An IP address from Bangladesh means it’ll be easier to check your online bank account from Bank Al-Falah, Citibank, State Bank of India, HSBC, and more. Local IP addresses won’t raise any compliance or fraud red flags, as the bank’s network infrastructure will assume you’re located inside the country.
The encryption features included in VPNs make your connection virtually unhackable. What that means is that it’s a hassle-free experience to access public wifi. Public wifi networks are those unsecured networks you typically find at airports, hotels, malls, and cafes — they’re leveraged by hackers who try to pilfer your data through things like man-in-the-middle attacks.
