What is Virtual Private Network(VPN)?

Virtual Private Network (VPN) mainly creates a secure Internet connection between users and the network through advanced encryption and tunneling technology. It is called virtual network because the connection between any two nodes of VPN is based on the network platform provided by public network service providers.

In short, it is to create a small private network on the WAN. It is worth mentioning that VPN can also realize remote access, but can only access the resources shared on the same network.

Disadvantages of Virtual Private Network

  • Lack of sufficient stability

    In most cases, the VPN connection is stable enough, but sometimes there is a disconnection. When the encrypted connection is suddenly interrupted, it will not only reduce your work efficiency, but also expose the real IP address of the computer, thus forming a security risk.

  • High bandwidth requirements

    In the process of remote access, VPN will not compress or optimize the data. Long-term use will lead to file accumulation, which will affect the overall performance and slow down the speed of the computer.

  • Blocking issue

    In some countries or regions, it is forbidden to use VPN. Even some mainstream media service websites (such as Netflix) will enable blocking programs to resist VPN connections.

  • Limited remote access resources.

    Remote access can be realized via VPN, but it can only access specific shared resources on the computer.
