While VPNs have been an integral part of many home and office computers for several years now, they are now becoming increasingly popular on mobile devices.And not without reason.A VPN is as useful on the smartphone as on the computer.But one question concerns many users.Should I leave my Android VPN app on at any time?
Almost all known providers offer users the opportunity to secure their phones and tablets with a dedicated Android VPN app.But is it really necessary after installation that the app is carried out at any time?
What do VPN apps do?
There are many advantages of a mobile VPN app on your Android cell phone.The most important ones concern the safety of your data.But also to avoid geo blocking (geographical restrictions) for websites and streaming services, VPN apps are very helpful.
A VPN encrypts the data traffic from your device and forwards it further via a third -party server.This makes it difficult to follow the origin of the data you send.A VPN also protects you from hackers who may try to steal your personal data such as your credit cards or bank details.This is particularly useful if you are in an unsecured public wi-fi network.This is often the case on the go with the cell phone.
A VPN can also bypass the geographical restrictions of streaming websites such as Netflix by masking your IP address and giving the impression that you would access content from a non-limited region.So you can view a good streaming VPN content from anywhere in the world.

Time to switch off my VPN?
However, if you use a secure internet connection and do not try to stream limited content, you do not have to carry out your VPN.In fact, there are even some good reasons to switch it off.
For example, VPNs can slow down the speed that you can use to download content from the Internet.This can be a problem in particular if you want to gamen with an active VPN or if you try to download a large file to your device.
In addition, a VPN running in the background can significantly reduce the battery level of your device.So if you don't have a charger, it is definitely a good idea to switch off your VPN.
