Is it smart to keep changing VPN servers?
A VPN is an indispensable tool in your cybersecurity arsenal. You've always got your VPN turned on to encrypt the traffic you send and receive, protect your personal data from interception by third parties, and mask your location.
Does changing VPN servers increase privacy?
Switching servers or doing something similar like switching between server locations can create ambiguity and be difficult to track, but our VPN technology eliminates the need.
When you visit a particular website through a VPN, your real IP address will always be masked. The website only sees the IP address of the VPN server, which is used by thousands of other VPN users.
Imagine a similar situation when you drive a car. It's like you're driving a rental car from one point to another, but this rental car is identical to thousands of other cars, all with the same license plate. The important thing is that no one can determine who is driving that vehicle. We do not record any activity or connection, in accordance with our policy of protecting user privacy.
Switching servers is similar to switching to another car in a row of thousands of identical cars, and there is no way to track the driver. This is not simply a security measure, because in the first place there is no information that allows determining who is in control.
In fact, the risk is much greater when revealing your identity through logging into services like Google or Facebook while browsing the web. In such situations, a VPN cannot guarantee security because websites still have the ability to track every activity you do through their personal account.
Should you avoid servers from your home location?
There's no reason to avoid using servers in your country or city. Your online activity is secured through encryption and your real IP address is hidden, no matter where you choose the server. Choosing one server location over another has no positive or negative impact on your privacy.
Furthermore, connecting to a server in your country or city has its own advantages. First of all, the short distance ensures that your Internet speed is not affected and latency is kept to a minimum. You'll also get search results related to your location, which can make it more convenient to use.
