Ipad security breaches – Best VPN for Ipad

The famous tablet computer designed by Apple known a very big succes for its numerous features, and contents (books, periodicals, movies, music, games, and web content). Its size and weight fall between those of contemporary smartphones and laptop computers.

The iPad runs the same operating system as the iPhone and iPod Touch. Among all the popular gadgets and mobile devices that Apple has introduced so far, iPad remains one of the most popular ones. Since the iPad2, the demand increased.

Why use a VPN with the iPad?

As all devices, iPad could be victim of privacy breaches, such as cyber attack or data theft. Therefore any tablet user should be aware of all security issues. In a last article, we already mentioned how to secure your connection with your mobile device.

In a 2010 article, gawker.com revealed that “114,000 user accounts have been compromised”.

The Virtual Private Network (VPN) system creates a secured tunnel between your tablet and a VPN server. It allows you to hide your IP and to restore your online privacy and anonymity.

Otherwise, a VPN application also give you the ability to choose your IP’s country location. In this way it allows you to access to geo-blocked websites such as Hulu, Netflix, Pandora.

How to setup a VPN application?

1. Choose a VPN provider within two major criteria:

  • The server location: for example, if you are situated in Italy, you will have to choose the closest server location (France or Germany) to benefit from the best speed.
  • The VPN protocol: PPTP is sufficient for watching entertainment contents, however OpenVPN will provides a better online privacy.

2. Download the software
