You probably don't? It offers an extra layer of security when using public wifi services as it encrypts what is being sent over the internet. If you use a mobile phone network to send data it does the same. Providing you have a reliable internet security on your computer/device you should be protected. That is what I have done for many years and thus far not had any problems. I am increasingly using my Smart Phone for the likes of internet banking as not only is it quicker and easier you have the extra layer of encrypted transmission that mobile data offers.

Posted on 03/02/2019 12:34 by Sharon chaddertonI bought goose vpn as a result of the CAMC advert in the magazine and am currently in a dispute with them with my credit card company. Beware with goosevpn you cannot access BBCiplayer, the ITV hub or channel 4

As my previous post.... not impressed!! Through some review comments I found online, it quickly became apparent that Goose VPN had a problem with iPlayer etc. It is well known in the industry that UK broadcasters continually wage war on VPN providers which in turn requires them to continually upgrade their servers.... I’m staying with Express VPN.

Posted on 16/01/2019 21:09 by nelliethehookerThanks David, but what I really wanted to know was why would I want it. Reading your link doesn't really answer that question. Most of it is just gibberish as far as I can see. I will admit to being a dinosaur as far as computing is concerned.

I am not an expert in such things but my understanding is that when you travel abroad your computer will log in via local networks, meaning you no longer have access to sites which have geographic restrictions, ie can only by viewed in the UK. Having a UK VPN 'tricks' your search engine into thinking you are still in the UK.
Now someone who knows what they're talking about can correct me.
