About Kaspersky VPN

Public Wi-Fi networks may be under-protected, for example, if a Wi-Fi network uses a vulnerable encryption protocol or a popular Wi-Fi network name (SSID). When you make Internet purchases over insecure Wi-Fi networks, your passwords and other confidential data may be transmitted as non-encrypted text. Hackers can intercept your confidential data, learn your bank card number, and access your money. You can use Kaspersky VPN to secure your Internet connection.

When you connect to the Internet, Kaspersky VPN checks your connection. If your connection is insecure, Kaspersky VPN prompts you to enable a secure connection via a specially allocated server located in a country you specify. When a secure connection is enabled, data from a website is first received by the allocated server. Kaspersky VPN then sends the data to your device over an encrypted communication channel.

In some regions, use of Kaspersky VPN may be regulated by local legislation. You may use Kaspersky VPN only in accordance with its purpose and without violating local legislation. If using a VPN is prohibited in your region, sections of the website and interface elements for managing the Kaspersky VPN app may be hidden or unavailable.

Kaspersky VPN provides the following advantages:

• Safely use payment systems and booking websites

  Hackers will not be able to intercept your bank card number on a website when you make online payments, book hotel rooms, or rent cars.

• Protect your secret information

  No one will be able to determine the IP address of your device or your location.

• Protect your privacy

  No one will be able to intercept and read your private correspondence on social networks, chats, and email websites.

Kaspersky VPN can be used for any type of network connection, such as a local Internet connection or USB modem connection.

By default, Kaspersky VPN does not prompt you to enable a secure connection if the HTTPS protocol is used to connect to a website.

Changing your virtual location when visiting websites of banks, payment systems, booking websites, social networks, chats, and email websites could trigger anti-fraud systems (systems analyze online financial transactions for signs of fraud).
