How Does a VPN Work?
A VPN, or virtual private network, works by encrypting your Internet connection to keep your communications, data, location and other information private while online in China. A VPN service can exchange your personal IP address with a VPN server's IP address. With VyprVPN, you can choose to connect to one of 70+ server locations worldwide, so your true IP address is not revealed. Encryption technology, such as the OpenVPN 256-bit protocol used in
VyprVPN's Chameleon protocol, is employed to secure all data and communications sent over the connection. This means you can escape blocks imposed by the Great Firewall and avoid censorship while using a VPN in China. A VPN also secures your connection, so you don't need to worry about snoops or the government violating your privacy or surveilling you.
