Why remote workers need a VPN
Working remotely means connecting to company systems from networks you don't control. A VPN adds a critical security layer:
- Encrypted data transfer — documents, emails, and credentials are protected even on insecure networks
- Secure access from anywhere — work from a cafe, hotel, or airport without worrying about network security
- Protection of client data — if you handle sensitive information, encryption is often a compliance requirement
- Consistent connection — smart routing ensures work tools stay fast while protecting your traffic
VPN for freelancers and digital nomads
Freelancers face unique challenges that a VPN addresses:
- Coworking spaces — shared networks with dozens of unknown users. A VPN ensures your traffic stays private
- Client confidentiality — encrypting your connection demonstrates professional security practices to clients
- Consistent access — some services behave differently based on your IP location. A VPN gives you a stable connection point
- Banking and payments — accessing financial services from varying locations can trigger fraud alerts. Smart routing keeps banking traffic on your local connection
Features that matter for work
A work VPN needs to be reliable and stay out of your way:
- Auto-connect — VPN activates automatically when you open the app, no manual steps
- Keep connection — maintains VPN through network changes and device sleep — no dropped video calls
- Smart routing — local services work directly, international traffic goes through VPN. No unnecessary latency for local tools
- Multi-device — one subscription covers your laptop, phone, and tablet simultaneously
- Low resource usage — ProstoVPN runs quietly in the background without draining battery or slowing down your machine
Часто задаваемые вопросы
Is ProstoVPN suitable for video calls?
Yes. The VPN adds minimal latency (typically under 10ms to European servers). Smart routing can direct video call traffic optimally. For the best experience, connect to the nearest server.
Can I use ProstoVPN on multiple devices at once?
Yes. One subscription works on several devices simultaneously — your work laptop, personal phone, and tablet can all be connected at the same time.
Will VPN interfere with my company's corporate tools?
Smart routing and per-app VPN exclusions let you fine-tune which traffic goes through VPN. You can exclude specific apps or services that need a direct connection.
