Working from home still involves different networks, devices, and risks. Home broadband is usually safer than open public Wi-Fi, but remote work can still move between cafés, coworking spaces, and hotel networks.
Where a VPN Helps
A VPN can encrypt traffic between your device and the VPN server, which is useful on shared or unfamiliar networks. It can also hide your usual public IP from the websites you visit while connected.
What It Does Not Replace
A consumer VPN is not a replacement for company security controls, corporate VPNs, endpoint protection, zero-trust policies, or any required employer setup. If your employer requires a specific process, follow that first.
Practical Checks
Use What Is My IP to confirm what the internet sees, and Speed Test if a connection feels slow or unstable. For devices, see VPN for Windows, VPN for Android, and VPN for iPhone.
