## VPN Usage
|
||
|
|
The vpn will relay all internet connections over a server operated by oneofftech.
|
||
|
|
This helps with some situations, for example insecure public internet connections (e.g. Free WiFi in a Café), and might also improve network connectivity (by skipping routing decisions made by your ISP, and circumvent site-blocking)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Please note that the VPN will usually decrease your internet performance slightly, when compared to a direct connection to the internet.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Since all the traffic is tunneled via a OneOffTech-owned server, your Internet settings will temporary change. This changes will be reverted, when you disconnect.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
We do not log or inspect any data transmitted via the VPN.
