How does the VPN work?

0

When you activate your VPN, it instantaneously builds an encrypted tunnel through your Internet connection from wherever you are to one of our Secure Internet Gateways. All Internet data between you and our servers is now encrypted. Nobody can break the encryption, including your ISP. We also assign you a temporary and random private IP address behind our gateway. Your “public” address will be that of whatever server of ours you are connected to for that session. This private IP cannot be traced by anyone through our server nor can anyone find your real IP address or location. You now cannot be sniffed, snooped, or spied on by anyone on your local network or across the Internet to our gateway. Once your data reaches our Secure Internet Gateway, we decrypt the data (we must so that your intended party can make sense of it), and send it to its destination. This last part is safe because it would be virtually impossible to “sniff” data between a secure data center over an actual Internet
