The demand for digital entertainment at home has never been higher than today. But, of course, that changed the VPN market as IP address spoofing became a critical use case for VPN services to serve users in repressive regions. Thus, numerous VPNs realized the need to offer obfuscated servers.
Let’s not forget the original point of VPNs: providing internet users safety, privacy, and anonymity. That increased digital safety comes from the two primary tasks that any VPN must perform, so it deserves the name: traffic encryption and IP address masking. Any network that fails to provide either thing is not a VPN; it’s as simple as that.
