What should you do to avoid internet access problems? Here are the best VPN apps for mobile and computer!
Problems accessing some social media and messaging apps in Türkiye have led users to turn to VPNs. Following calls from the Republican People's Party (CHP) to rally against the court decision to suspend the Istanbul provincial administration and appoint a trustee, the Istanbul Governor's Office banned demonstrations and events in six districts for four days, starting on Sunday, September 7. Following this decision, social media users began reporting problems accessing Instagram and WhatsApp in particular.
Internet users are turning to VPN applications to access restricted websites and seamlessly use social media platforms. VPN (Virtual Private Network) stands out as a technology that makes internet connections secure and private. This technology encrypts traffic between the device and the internet, preventing third-party access and allowing users to connect anonymously.
HOW DOES VPN WORK?A VPN routes internet traffic through a secure tunnel. Data transmission is encrypted through the VPN server you connect to, preventing third-party access to your internet traffic. This allows you to bypass geographic restrictions and access blocked sites.
