About This Trend
VPNs are online services that create a secure, encrypted connection between a user's device and the internet, providing a private and secure online environment.
According to NBC News, the increased popularity of VPNs can be attributed to the rise of remote work and digital privacy concerns following the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, the latest rankings from top VPN review websites suggest that users are seeking more reliable and secure options for accessing geo-restricted content. The blockade of VPNs by geo-restricted services, such as Amazon Prime and Netflix, has also led to a surge in interest in finding ways to bypass these blocks. Furthermore, the growing awareness of online surveillance and digital security threats has fueled the demand for VPN services.
