A few useful things a VPN can do on the connection you already have. ### Keep your own IP out of sight For browsing routed through the VPN, websites see its server’s IP instead of your connection’s IP. ### Add privacy on shared Wi-Fi An encrypted connection between your device and the VPN adds a layer of privacy. Keep using HTTPS and your device’s security features. ### Choose a different IP location Choose from the available locations in the app. A VPN can change your IP-based location; it does not change your GPS location. ## Internet providers and networks in New Zealand. These are ten of the largest networks observed in APNIC’s country measurements. Use the names to help recognise your connection provider.
