Almost all of the VPN services available on the market are designed to be activated immediately by simply installing them on your system with a small setup file. You can make your internet secure in a few seconds by installing the installation file that you will download from the company you receive VPN service on your computer. At this point, the part we want to draw your attention to is the correct configuration of the VPN service.
Some VPN services will not pass all your traffic over the VPN protocol by default. For this reason, your DNS records (the IP address or domain name of the website, server or service you want to go to) will come and go over your standard internet connection instead of the secure tunnel. Naturally, you can follow even if you are on VPN. Against this situation, after installing the VPN, you should not forget to confirm the “Remove All Traffic Over VPN” section in the settings of the application you are using. Otherwise, privacy issues will arise.
In addition to these installation files designed for computers, VPN services are also available as add-ons for browsers.
Many VPN service providers are now designed to work through browser add-ons rather than a setup file. Your surfing traffic can also be set to use VPN through the add-ons you download for browsers such as Chrome or Firefox. In this usage, you should remember that VPN can only be used on the browser where you have installed the add-on. So if you use a different browser, the VPN will not be active.
You can also use VPN services on Android or iOS mobile devices.
For this, you need to download the application from the Google Play store specific to the Android operating system or the Apple Store that is specific to the iOS operating system. Almost all of the VPN services you receive support Android and iOS. VPN applications that you download from the store can be activated by installing them on your phone or mobile device with a few taps.
