Your ISP can monitor everything you do online — from the sites you visit to the time you spend streaming. In many countries, ISPs can even sell this data to advertisers.
When you use a VPN, all your internet traffic is encrypted and routed through the VPN server. This means your ISP can only see that you’re connected to a VPN — not the websites you visit or the content you download.
This is especially important in countries with invasive surveillance laws or in cases where ISPs throttle your speed for certain activities (like streaming or gaming).
By masking your IP and encrypting your data, a VPN ensures that your internet habits remain private — a crucial step toward digital freedom.
