What Types Of Data Are Encrypted?
All of the data transmitted/received on your computer & mobile device is encrypted when you are connected to the VPN. This means that not only is your web browsing encrypted, your email, instant messages, etc. are as well.
Does Using A VPN Slow Down My Internet Connection?
When you are using an active VPN connection all of the inbound and outbound traffic on your computer/device is encrypted and transmitted to the VPN server that you're connected to. This results in a slight slowdown versus unencrypted data transmission. However, in some instances you might see your internet speeds increase.
How Do I Choose A VPN Server To Connect To?
Usually the server that is closet to you will result in the fastest speeds. You can use the Ghost Path OpenVPN client to perform speed and connection tests to see which servers are fastest. Other times you may want to connect to a VPN gateway in a specific country so that you can access certain websites or services. The Ghost Path app makes it easy to manage the gateways that you connect to.
