One issue I often find people having when dealing with VPNs is, they don’t want 5 different VPN softwares installed on their computer to run all the different VPN’s you might need to tap into. For example lets say I have a “AgencyVPNs.com” VPN file, a Personal Nord VPN, as well as a few work VPN files you need to use thoughout the day. Ideally, we can have one piece of software that can allow us to easily manage all our VPNs.

OPENVPN

Here steps in OpenVPN, a old and big player in the industry – known for their OpenSource Community. OpenVPN is a VPN Client, which means it is the software that will run on your device. 

 First, lets get NordVPN our of the way – you can download .ovpn files very easily from the Nord Portal. (Tutorial Here) 

Second, Download the OPENVPN client from the website for the latest version.

Third, go though the process to import all your VPN config files.

Really that’s it and your VPNs should all work from the same client.

REASON #1: Help Secure Your Web Browsing

When you use a VPN, you are creating an encrypted tunnel and forcing your web traffic through this tunnel. This encrypted tunnel uses Industry standard technology to secure the data in transit. If you are at a Coffee Shop using the wifi, an attacker can possibly ‘snoop’ on your connection. If you were using a VPN, the attacker would only see a VPN connection and cannot see any data passing through. There have been many studies done to show how using a VPN can prevent exactly this kind of attack.

REASON #2: Help Prevent 2FA On Social Media Logins.

Using a VPN that allows for ‘static IP Addresses’ will make it appear as you are attempting to login from the same location. Although this isn’t true for ever site, making your IP Address look consistent does make your traffic appear to be more ‘normal’ which could help prevent any security flags. For those who really are paranoid, some Online Accounts allow you to limit your Login to specific IP Addresses, in which any malicious actor would also need your VPN to login to the account in question. 

REASON #3: Anonymize Your Actual Location.

In todays world of Web Trackers, Cookies, Tokens and all kinds of monitoring metrics – we can use a VPN to help hide our real locations. Let’s say one of our Social Media accounts was taken over by a malicious actor – if they are in the account they can see the last login locations via IP Address. This is where, if we always connected to our VPN when we login – we would conceal our real address and the actual login location of the device!

I hope this helps you take into account the reasons to use a VPN and when those times can be applicable.

We wanted to compare our Paid Services and the benefits over free alternatives. We sincerely encourage users to take safety into their hands and purchasing a low cost VPN.

Background on us, are “AgencyVPNs” and we provide a low budget high quality VPN service. We originated when we primarily worked with Development and Marketing Agencies to fill multiple voids we found our own VPN service could fill.

So, if you were to compare say any other free VPN service to “us” – what are the benefits?

Benefit #1: Consistent IP Addresses

With all of the plans we offer, you get access to multiple USA Servers which change your IP Address. These IP Addresses will be consistent and not change over small periods of time. This means you can utilize our shared servers for basic security whitelisting and general VPN usage. Many free options offer multiple ‘servers’ but restrict data usage and do not guarantee the same IP Addresses for their VPNS.

Benefit #2: Quality USA Servers

All of our offers includes USA Servers and IP Addresses. These are high performance Cloud Servers that run in multiple locations with non updating IPs. We do not ‘throttle’ any traffic, we want our users to be as fast as possible. Of course our Custom Plan allows for your own personal server in a location of your choice, which only you and your team will have access to. I do not see any free VPN suppliers who offer this type of performance and reputation which both matter when it comes to Security and maintaining your business’ operations.

Benefit #3: Customer Support Included

This might seem like a small one, but trying to use any FREE VPNs usually are troublesome overtime. Occasionally, even the initial setup or installation can be difficult. (Not everybody are techies!) Because of this we offer quality customer support as long as your a paying customer. Here at AgencyVPNs we utilize Open Source Licensed VPN Client software to ensure device compatibility, but you can use any VPN client you’d like!

Benefit #3: The Feeling Of We Care

I’ve probably used Hundreds of VPNS, from Private Company VPNS, SAAS VPNs like myself, self hosted VPNS, and the free ones I see developers and marketers alike attempt to use. All of those times, I never felt supported or had an elegant way to manage my VPN data. We wanted to make this service as affordable as possible to alienate as many issues for Small Businesses and Agencies. Our current client base grew with us and found the benefit in our small monthly fee to be proactive on a number of issues they experienced. (As well as myself coming from a Development/Marketing Background)
