A VPN server can have many different uses, but basically, it is a computer that is configured to manage network connections over a public network. It allows remote computers to establish a connection and then, manages the inward and outward flow of data traffic on those connections. In our particular case, our VPN server is configured to carry out several different network tasks. It not only acts as a gateway to the internet in the UK, our VPN server is also, a DHCP server, a bandwidth management system and a router and also, performs several other tasks that help us to provide the service that we offer to our customers.

What is our VPN server used for?
|
|
Our VPN server is used by our customers for many different reasons and fulfills a number of roles based on the individual needs of our customers.
|
|
Our VPN server is very handy! One use that our customers put our VPN server to, is to use it to create an encrypted tunnel across the public internet between their computer and our VPN server in the UK. The VPN server establishes and manages the connection through the tunnel, enabling secure transmission of the data travelling through the tunnel. Data is encrypted before travelling through the tunnel and decrypted as it emerges at the other side. This enables secure communication across public networks, between a remote computer and our VPN server in the UK.
|
VPN server - first example:
|
|
A salesman located in the USA uses our VPN server to create a secure virtual private network tunnel that enables him to log into the main computer in his office in the UK. Data is encrypted before it passes securely through the tunnel, enabling him to upload and download sensitive information that he may not wish one of his competitors to see.
|
VPN server - second example:
|
|
Our VPN server is used to circumvent a ban or, access restrictions on certain services and web sites on the internet. Certain countries for example, ban or, restrict access to web sites like www.youtube.com, www.facebook.com, www.skype.com and web sites containing pornography or, gambling web sites - in countries where pornography and gambling is illegal.

We have virtual private network - VPN server in the UK which has a UK IP address and when you connect your computer to it through your own private network tunnel, it doesn't matter where you are actually situated in the World, your computer appears to be physically located in the UK.
|
|
Well, to connect to our VPN server doesn't cost anything, it's absolutley free! That's because you are using your existing internet connection (wherever you are currently situated in the World) to connect to our VPN server in the UK and we can't charge you for that - you are already paying your internet service provider for your existing internet connection. The problem is, you won't be able to do much with a free VPN connection without an internet connection on the UK side.
