10 Reasons Why You Need VPN on Your Android Device

--By On January 15, 2020

A virtual private network (VPN) is the Android smartphone Wi-Fi shield. A secure Android VPN like Surfshark can close the “side door” to your network and protect your identity, privacy, and finances. This blog is all about why everyone should log into a VPN when using an Android smartphone or tablet.

We will offer 10 good reasons, which involve not only the obvious considerations of security, but also some ways a VPN bypasses geo-blocking and Internet censorship. Those reasons are grounded in security, privacy, and principles of free and open access to the Internet.

Wi-Fi Routers Offer a “Free Ride”

An Android smartphone is designed to access the Internet through network cell towers through a complicated process of data packet routing back to the user’s IP address. Service providers keep track of all that data passing back and forth and include data usage as part of their payment plans.

So, Wi-Fi routers operate independently from the cellphone service provider. They bypass data charges. Android devices can be configured to automatically detect a Wi-Fi connection to gain Internet access for free and unmonitored Internet use. This is where the VPN, in addition to cutting down on data consumption costs, provides the protection against hackers and scammers. We will include a more detailed discussion below.

Before we get to our 10 reasons why you need a VPN for your Android device, here is some cautionary advice on Android security:

Android Devices Are Safe, But...

An Android device has security measures built into its operating system. Anyone stumbling onto Android malware would find it difficult to pass the infection to an organization’s PC network. Traditional computer viruses do not operate within Android parameters, at least not yet. Androids can be hacked, however, and there are a number of threats like xHelper out in the wild.

Also, there are data breaches Android users need to be aware of:

Information Leaks

Transmitting confidential files to a public cloud storage service using an Android device can for obvious reasons cause accidental compromises. If the data contains personal or private medical information, serious government sanctions can descend on the organization. The fines can be in the millions of dollars and include sanctions that could cripple a business.

Social Engineering—Phishing, Scamming, Data Breaches

Scammers who use email do not rely on malware. They know that people are constantly checking their smartphones and are gullible and curious. FireEye, a cyber security firm, reported that over 90 percent of cyber-crime starts with email.

An email from a “customer” with an authentic looking invoice is a typical example of so-called “spear-phishing. The perpetrator gets all that information from social media like Facebook and LinkedIn.

Aging Android Devices

Android doesn’t offer immediate software updates and patches. There are even Android-driven gadgets on the internet of things (IoT) that aren’t even designed for upgrades. The bottom line is that if your smartphone is older, software patches most likely exist on the newer models only.

Additionally, IoT devices that run on Android software can provide a side door for a hacker’s illicit entry into a network. Something as innocuous as an automatic temperature regulator on a fish tank can open the door to serious data breaches.

Password vulnerabilities

Android users don’t always secure their accounts properly. One Google poll found that the majority of users attach the same password to multiple accounts. The same survey found that about 75 percent of those surveyed didn’t both using a password management program. Password management programs generate the most secure passwords, and the user only needs to remember a master password to access multiple secure accounts.

10 Reasons Why You Need VPN on Your Android Device

Surfing the net on an Android device while connected to a Wi-Fi router should include the protection of a VPN. A VPN offers a private connection between the device and the sites and services that the device is accessing. The privacy is through an encrypted “tunnel,” which even the IP server cannot identify.

Likewise, with a VPN, the user can log on anonymously and choose from an array of external servers. That process is analogous to a user in New York using someone’s computer in Georgia.

So, here are your 10 best reasons to use a premium-service VPN like Surfshark on your Android Device:

Reason #1: Secure Browsing

What a VPN does best is protects the user’s privacy through hiding the IP address and spoofing personal metadata.

While Android smartphones are quite secure, any mobile device is only as secure as the network it taps into. Anyone using a home or company network router should consider setting up a VPN on their router to protect every device on the network—regardless of whether the device is VPN compatible or not.

Reason #2: Foiling Man-in-the-Middle Attacks

How about in public? Security experts advise smartphone users to stay clear of free public Wi-Fi. They are unsecured networks where tech-savvy hackers can stage man-in-the-middle attacks between the user and the browsing destination.

Scammers can spoof network portals and lure users into disclosing passwords and opening their devices to malware. However, with an Android VPN your Wi-Fi browsing is secure, even if the hacker knows you are on line.

Reason #3: Protecting Against Ransomware and Mobile Phone Attacks

Previously, we noted that PC malware is not compatible with Android software. Mobile phone ransomware and other Android-targeted malware are the scary exceptions. The best protection is the privacy and roaming that VPN provides.

The VPN is a secure and encrypted tunnel between your Android and a remote server. Hackers who want to hold your data for ransom will have to look elsewhere. Cyber criminals who want to target your Android, simply cannot find you.

Reason #4: Maintaining Privacy Through “No-Logs”

One advantage of a full-featured, subscription-based VPN like Surfshark is its “no-logs” policy. While many free services track users’ online activity, a “no-logs” service keeps no records (other than network maintenance information) of your activity.

Even if a government agency sent the VPN service a subpoena demanding a user’s record of internet activity, the service provider could not comply. The activity records are non-existent.

Reason #5: Beating Netflix (and others) Streaming Restrictions

Netflix has a robust smartphone app for user entertainment. However, for a variety of reasons, Netflix must block streaming when it detects overseas users. Remote VPN sign-in allows the user to log on to servers everywhere and bypass local streaming restrictions.

Reason #6: Saving Money Through Better Pricing Options

Some online vendors advertise locale-based product pricing with higher prices advertised in more affluent areas. VPN thwarts that unfair sales practice to allow the remote user access to local pricing information and better online shopping choices.

Reason #7: Saving Money on Airline Ticketing and Travel Services

Some websites have vastly different prices for customers, based on the user’s IP address. That includes rental car agencies and hotels. Often the shopper will uncover vastly different prices for the same travel. Smart shoppers signing on with VPN can look for better travel deals by switching around on VPN server locations.

Reason #8: Overcoming Internet Censorship

A VPN can overcome internet censorship and allow access to locally blacklisted websites. The censorship is typically for the purpose of blocking citizens’ access to foreign sites government censors find objectionable.

A VPN can bypass the censorship through location deception. The Internet was designed for free and open access by everyone. Bypassing Internet censorship with a VPN upholds that principle.

Reason #9: Getting Better Access to Online Gaming

Some servers are faster than others, and some IPs throttle a gaming connection to conserve (or sell) bandwidth. Gamers can shop around with VPN to reduce game ping (lag time). Likewise, VPN encrypts gaming traffic to help the user stay anonymous.

VPN also protects the gamer from denial of service attacks and snoopers—an especially valuable security measure during online gaming and tournaments.

Reason #10: Blocking annoying and intrusive ads

A VPN service like Surfshark typically includes adblocker software. Intrusive ads slow down and interfere with browsing and take up bandwidth.

Also, online ads are a source of trackers and malware. As mentioned previously, free VPN providers, who need to earn money to provide the free service, often defeat the purpose of VPN by including ads along with the aforementioned user logs.

A Final Caveat: Beware of free VPN services.

To enjoy the full security and privacy that VPN offers, the best choice is a premium, subscription-based VPN provider like Surfshark. There are hundreds of free VPN providers, but to offer their services they must generate income.

Free VPN services exploit users and gather usage statistics and track online activity. Many come with embedded advertising trackers that scoop and collect user data to sell to marketers. Some even sell user’s bandwidth to paying subscribers. Read this article for reasons to invest in a full-service VPN.

Your Takeaways on Android VPN

A VPN provides encrypted and secure access for an Android Internet connection. No one besides the user can monitor or see what the user is doing on line. Android users who frequently rely on public Wi-Fi networks should never log on to those unsecure networks unless their Android device has a VPN service running.

Summary:

1.The Android operating system has built-in security safeguards, but those precautions can be bypassed when running through a Wi-Fi connection. Private Wi-Fi connections should have VPN protection for every device on the network.

2.Even with the best protection, there are other security measures Android users need to be aware of. They include awareness of data leaks, guarding against email phishing, and avoiding the ransomware contamination.

3.Security consciousness through strong password management is also a must. Finally, aging devices could have vulnerabilities that the Android operating system never addressed.

4.Public Wi-Fi hotspots are lairs for hackers that spy on and penetrate users’ personal information. A VPN is the best countermeasure for that snooping.

So, the main benefits of a VPN include the 10 reasons outlined above. Those reasons boil down to advantages in security, privacy, and freedom from geographic blocking and Internet censorship.

I’ve chosen Nord Vpn as it was recommended by my geeky brother. I can honestly say that it’s really simple to configure and use, both on pc or phone. Speed is excellent even while streaming. Also being abroad, having the Nord Vpn installed is extremely helpful.

If device and data security are not enough of a reason to get a VPN, then there are some other couple good reasons mentioned in this article. Personally, I use Surfshark, and I've been pretty happy with my choice. It has good performance and price, nothing more to ask.

I explained the situation about my wife to him and he said he was going to help me.I gave him all the information he required and afterwards i received all my wife’s phones Text messages and calls, I was hurt when i saw a picture of my wife and her lover.
