Tablets have become an indispensable part of living rooms around the world. Children play games or watch YouTube on them, adults read books or watch their favorite series when the television is occupied. But these flat computers also prove their usefulness outside the home. Campers can no longer do without them, and who wants to go on vacation without the ability to contact their family from the hotel?
One VPN for all your devices
Whizz VPN is often asked whether it is necessary to take out a VPN subscription for a tablet in addition to one for the home computer. The answer is that one subscription is enough for both! With every VPN subscription, you can install an app that keeps your mobile devices—tablets as well as phones—secure.
This is useful, because people sometimes secure their mobile devices less well than their computers at home or at work. Perhaps because a tablet is only used at the campsite—and what could possibly go wrong there? Or because the tablet only comes out of its case during vacations, but often without any security measures in place. And that’s dangerous, because unsafe online situations exist outside your own home. A hacker can very easily break into a public WIFI network, so extra caution is needed in hotels and campsites!
A VPN offers good protection against the most common threats.
VPN encryption A VPN offers good protection against the most common threats. Your internet signal is first encrypted by the VPN, and only then is it brought online via a special IP address. This has two advantages. The first is that information from your tablet (such as login codes) cannot be read because of the encryption—if someone tries to read it remotely, they will never succeed! The second advantage is that your signal is anonymous because of that IP address and cannot be linked to a person or specific device. And that makes a big difference in the ads you see on your favorite websites, because advertisers cannot use their cookies!
Netflix
There is another major advantage to installing a VPN app on your tablet. Because your online identity cannot be verified, you can easily connect to American Netflix, for example, and watch series that are not yet available online in Europe. That makes life at the campsite or anywhere else just that little bit more fun!
