How does it work?
The entire purpose of a VPN is to 
remain anonymous on the internet. Typically when you surf the web, your public IP address can be seen by third-parties. If someone knows your IP address they can detect your geographic location, or even gain remote access to your device and your private information.
A VPN allows you to hide your IP address, thus hiding your location so you can appear to be located anywhere in the world. The 
VirtualShield VPN app will also encrypt your 
entire connection and completely erase your digital footprint for additional security.
