iPhone Life Tip - Re: My VPN recommendation

Hi there,

"I know I'm being tracked while I'm online, but why should I care?"

I was recently talking to a friend about whether she should get a VPN.

Put simply, she wanted to know: does it *really* matter if your internet usage is being tracked?

Spoiler Alert: it does matter, which is why I recommend NordVPN for online data privacy. Keep reading, and I'll explain why. (By the way, we partnered with NordVPN to offer iPhone Life readers 72% off + up to 1 year free.)

Here's what I told her. These are my top three reasons why you should care about online privacy:

Security on Public Wifi

Hackers use programs that scan data that goes through public wifi networks you might connect to, such as what you might use at a hotel, coffee shop, or airport. They can easily find out all kinds of things including your usernames and passwords.

Location-based censorship

Some websites display information differently depending on your physical location. You can get around that by using a VPN so you can be in control of what you see online.

Limit your exposure to scams 

The profiles that data brokers and marketing agencies create are vulnerable to hackers. When that happens, your personal information can end up on the dark web, where scammers can use it to target you. A VPN can limit what kinds of data show up in those profiles, so scammers have a harder time targeting you personally.

What did I recommend to my friend?

I recommended the same thing that I recommend to every iPhone Life reader: NordVPN. It's been around long enough to be very trustworthy. 

With NordVPN you get: 

• Military-grade encryption to keep your data safe from hackers.
• Malware scanning for all your downloads.
• Alerts if your credentials are leaked on the dark web.

And my favorite part? It won’t slow down your internet like other VPNs.

For a limited time, NordVPN is offering 72% off + up to 1 year free.

Stay safe and happy browsing,
