Expats may live elsewhere, nut that doesn’t mean they want to leave everything they loved behind.

Let’s face it, there’s enough challenges moving overseas without adding to them, and this is where a VPN comes into its own.

Online security and unobstructed access are must-haves for anyone wanting to keep in touch with family and friends via social media. Bypassing geo-restrictions on your favourite social media platforms and video streaming services will enable you to keep some things just the way they were.

That means that if you live somewhere you can watch Coronation Street or Match of the Day, that is because there will be geo-blocking in place due to rights holder issues and censorship.

Spider Connect VPN will bypass those issues and allow you to stream your favourite programmes as if you were back home. The VPN hides your location and allows you to connect to the Internet via servers in different countries.

And, of course, VPN allows you unrestricted access to social media.

Spider Connect VPN overrides these restrictions, so you can connect with family and friends on your favourite social media platforms whether you’re in China, UAE or Uganda. With your IP address disguised, there is no censorship.

Skype, What’s App Audio… with VPN, you’re in.

It’s arguably a must-have for any expat

Think about it. Your 13-year-old daughter starts getting phone calls on her mobile telling her she’s recently been in an accident and is entitled to compensation. Or maybe she’s due for an upgrade on her mobile? Better still, her records show she can claim back PPI.

Protecting your kids is second nature, but it’s harder to shield them from the unseen. Commercial companies and advertisers are always looking to exploit info gathered from Internet users and it’s perfectly legal for them to do so.

VPN can stop this, as well as provide a host of other benefits. It can maintain your family privacy – the least anyone should be allowed to have -and allows you to take back some control. That’s got to be a good thing, right?

If you’re working abroad, chances are you will probably want to watch content from own country. With a VPN, you can gain access to secure Wi-Fi wherever you are.

Whether you’re at an airport, café, hotel or public place, the temptation to use free WiFi is huge, but users should be very wary of logging on to a network unprotected.

Logging on to free public network is akin to a lamb walking alone in a forest full of wolves. It will leave you vulnerable and open to hacking and data theft. Essential and secret data such as passwords and credit card transactions could easily be stolen and used before you’re even aware it’s happened.

No encryption means easy prey. VPN can stop this happening. VPN does stop this happening.

There are many reasons crypto enthusiasts should use a VPN. Investors, speculators and businesses all want to protect their activities and with standard connections, this is nigh on impossible and sensitive info can fall into the wrong hands.

With transactions stored on a public ledger, IP footprints are also left at crypto exchanges and other Internet service providers.

Spider Connect helps protect your identity from hackers, questionable third-parties and government agencies. As we continually say, privacy is a basic human right and it is impossible to steal your money if the owner can’t be traced.

VPNs add a valuable extra layer of security that, in layman’s terms, is a ‘no-brainer’ for anyone who values their privacy. It will ensure those you wish to keep out of your affairs, are, indeed kept out.

And beware the free VPN deal – these companies make their money by selling your data – so if it seems to good to be true, it almost certainly is.
