<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1024" height="640" src="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-1024x640.png" alt="TrueDome by TrueVPN" class="wp-image-487" srcset="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-1024x640.png 1024w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-300x188.png 300w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-768x480.png 768w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-1536x960.png 1536w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-2048x1280.png 2048w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-450x281.png 450w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-780x488.png 780w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/truedome-1-1600x1000.png 1600w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>TrueDome by TrueVPN</figcaption></figure>



<h3>Understanding Interceptions and TrueDome&#8217;s Role</h3>



<p>In the realm of cybersecurity, an &#8220;interception&#8221; refers to the unauthorized access or modification of data as it is being transmitted over a network. This can include activities such as data breaches, spying, malware injection, and deep packet inspections (DPI) by malicious actors. These interceptions can compromise the integrity, confidentiality, and security of personal and corporate data, leading to severe consequences such as identity theft, financial loss, and damage to reputation.</p>



<p>TrueDome, a feature of TrueVPN, plays a critical role in preventing these interceptions. </p>



<p>Here&#8217;s how:</p>



<ol><li><strong>Advanced Firewall Protection</strong>: TrueDome employs sophisticated firewall technologies that act as the first line of defense against incoming threats. These firewalls are designed to identify and block unauthorized access attempts, ensuring that only legitimate data transmissions occur.</li><li><strong>Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) Prevention</strong>: TrueDome’s capabilities allow it to scrutinize the contents of data packets in real-time. This enables the system to detect and block malicious packets. TrueDome effectively prevents data breaches and unauthorized access, providing a robust layer of security that keeps user information safe from cyber threats.</li><li><strong style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;">Secure Data Tunneling</strong><span style="font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, &quot;Segoe UI&quot;, Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;, sans-serif;">: By utilizing TrueVPN’s secure data tunnels, TrueDome reroutes user data through encrypted pathways. This makes it incredibly difficult for malicious actors to intercept and decipher the data, ensuring that sensitive information remains confidential and secure.</span></li><li><strong>Proactive Threat Detection</strong>: TrueDome constantly monitors network traffic for signs of suspicious activity. Using advanced algorithms and threat intelligence, it can identify emerging threats and neutralize them before they can cause harm.</li></ol>



<p>By implementing these measures, TrueDome ensures that users can navigate the digital world with confidence, knowing their data is protected against unauthorized interceptions. This relentless focus on security helps maintain the integrity of user communications and data transfers, making TrueDome an essential tool in the fight against cyber threats.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">The internet should be open to everyone. TrueDome® is a feature that allows you to use TrueVPN in restrictive regions with no issues over a military-grade encryption.</p>



<p>Virtual private network (VPN) blocking refers to methods that prevent the use of VPN tunnels to communicate with other people, machines, or websites. A&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/truevpn-rolls-out-huge-ios-update-which-advances-vpn-industry/" target="_blank" data-type="post" data-id="466" rel="noreferrer noopener">VPN</a>&nbsp;encrypts data that travels between two parties and gives users a different Internet Protocol (IP) address. This provides users with privacy and security.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, for reasons discussed below, governments and organizations sometimes want to prevent the use of VPNs. This leaves some users figuring out ways to unblock VPN connections so they can enjoy secure, discreet connections.</p>



<h1>Why Do VPNs Get Blocked?</h1>



<h3>Government Censorship</h3>



<p>Governments sometimes do not want their citizens to access certain websites, so they block these sites. With a VPN, it looks like your IP address is outside the country, making your access look legitimate. To counteract this, some governments block VPNs.</p>



<h3>Copyright</h3>



<p>People sometimes copy a movie and upload it to a website that allows users to download content, such as a torrent. People who download or upload the content may try to hide their identity with a VPN, so copyright holders may try to block VPNs to prevent illicit dissemination.</p>



<h3>Streaming Location Restrictions</h3>



<p>If you have ever been to Mexico and tried to use Netflix, you may quickly see that the movies available there are different than those you can access in the United States. For this reason, people often use VPNs to get a United States IP address. When Netflix sees a U.S. IP address, it shows the same content you would get if you were physically in the States.</p>



<h3>School and Workplace Restrictions</h3>



<p>Sometimes employers or school administrators do not want employees or students accessing certain sites while at work or school, so they ban the use of VPNs on the business’s or school’s network.</p>



<h1>Types of VPN Blocking</h1>



<h3>IP Blocking</h3>



<p>With IP blocking, a company or person will collect a list of IP addresses connected with VPN services. All of these IP addresses will then be blocked on the network.</p>



<h3>Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)</h3>



<p><a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-deep-packet-inspection/" data-type="post" data-id="404">Deep packet inspection (DPI)</a>&nbsp;checks the data packets moving through the traffic going to and from a device. In this way, an organization or government may be able to figure out if you are using a VPN and stop your activity.</p>



<h3>Port Blocking</h3>



<p>It is possible for a firewall to block certain ports, specifically ones that VPNs use. If your data travels through one of the blocked ports, the firewall will not allow it to pass through, preventing you from communicating using your VPN.</p>



<h1>Introducing TrueDome®</h1>

<p class="has-drop-cap">Although artificial intelligence and its subfield of machine learning have been applied in cybersecurity for some time, the speed of adoption is now accelerating. As threats evolve and IT environments get more complicated, AI-driven technology shows the potential of addressing new threats and risks that require machine speed rather than human speed.</p>



<p>So how TrueVPN Uses AI in Cybersecurity Research and Why?<br>We will talk about it in a minute, Keep reading.</p>



<h1>Background</h1>



<p>Cyber criminals pose a threat to all manner of organizations and businesses, and the customers and consumers who use them. Some of the numbers involved in the largest data breaches are staggering, with personal data concerning hundreds of thousands of individuals being leaked – each one potentially a new victim of fraud and other cybercrime.</p>



<h2>Networking Security</h2>



<p>Cyber crimes are not just limited to softwares installed on your computer or your smart-phone, Take traffic cameras in development countries as example, These cameras are powered with AI-based facial recognition software, of course the operation of these kind of systems depends on syncing data between cameras, software in the cloud, and here&#8217;s the issue.</p>



<p>What if these cloud infrastructures got hacked? Whoops!. <br>Of course, These systems are secured enough against criminals, but it&#8217;s really hard for ITs to track each packet passes through the network and of course more security means less functionality, and less security means more functionality!</p>



<p>Not to mention the risks of using a public WiFi network, And we already talked about <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/the-risks-of-using-public-wifi-networks/" class="rank-math-link">The Risks of using a public WiFi network</a> in other article</p>



<h2>Privacy</h2>



<p>For example, If you reading this you been tracked and you probably don’t even know it.<br>You probably thinking, Who cares? i’m not important. They can watch what they wants ..etc</p>



<p><strong>That is what they wants you to believe</strong>. but the truth is. What if it’s for more than just ads or sales? What if there’s much larger scheme in place? That’s carefully put together to manipulate what you see, what you hear, and believe. In other words, You’re being <strong>brain watched</strong>.</p>



<p><strong>Your data is being sold is not the only problem.</strong></p>



<p>It’s also being sold for other reasons, worst reasons, <strong>You’re being profiled</strong>.<br>Wether it be political persuasion or what the men in black suits want people of your type to be looking at. But online is .. It’s Ultimate control, Rule of our society, Censorship and manipulation.</p>



<h1>AI in Cybersecurity</h1>



<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are playing an increasing role in cybersecurity, with security tools analyzing data from millions of cyber incidents, and using it to identify potential threats &#8212; an employee account acting strangely by clicking on phishing links, for example, or a new variant of malware or a bad behavior on a network. </p>



<p>Today, TrueVPN started to use an AI based algorithm to improve network security and user&#8217;s privacy, and of course the functionality of the algorithm only works on the device.</p>



<p>If you haven’t heard about TrueVPN, Click to <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/why-you-should-use-truevpn/"><strong>Learn more about TrueVPN</strong></a></p>



<p>By using AI-based algorithm, we can secure our users from cyber threads, fraud, hackers and even data leaks, we will talk about how TrueVPN Uses AI in Cybersecurity Research in this article.</p>



<h1>TrueVPN&#8217;s AI</h1>



<p>TrueVPN AI is powered by Skytells&#8217;s DeepBrain AI as built-in feature included with every version of TrueVPN app, With TrueVPN AI your Internet traffic will be even more secure: A neural network based on the device continuously analyzes current Internet routing. Based on this our algorithm determines the most secure route through the Internet.</p>



<h3>Benefits from TrueVPN&#8217;s built-in AI</h3>



<ul><li>Chooses the VPN server closest to the destination</li><li>Increasing TrueVPN&#8217;s Firewall protection.</li><li>Identifying anomalies in network traffic or user behavior.</li><li>Traffic stays in the encrypted VPN network as long as possible</li><li>External VPN IP changes depending on the destination</li><li>In the best case, the traffic is not exposed to the Internet at all</li><li>The number of attack points is greatly reduced</li><li>Tracking users is more difficult</li><li>Mitigating the cybersecurity skills gap</li><li>Detecting online and other fraud</li><li>Dynamic: The algorithm learns and reacts if routing changes</li></ul>



<p>Your data is sent encrypted from one VPN server to the next. That means that the traffic outside the strongly encrypted VPN network is minimized. Additionally, since routing on the Internet is dynamic and changes regularly, TrueVPN AI automatically analyzes the current routing and determines the shortest route to the target server. Because of this, it is also not easily possible to predict which routes your traffic is using.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-drop-cap">The risks of using a public Wi-Fi networks is very high, most common reason that people connect to a public Wi-Fi network is because it&#8217;s easy and free. It&#8217;s hard to find much information on the web about the risks of these connections. There are a number of ways that a potential user may connect to a public Wi-Fi network.</p>



<p>So, What is the Risks of using a Public Wi-Fi Network?</p>



<h1>The Risks Of Using Public WiFi Networks</h1>



<p>There are many risks of using a public WiFi networks, from stealing your personal data, including your financial information to even more worth than that, We will talk about the risks of using a public Wi-Fi in details in this blog post and how to avoid these risks. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1024" height="613" src="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/write-an-attention-grabbing-college-essay-1024x613.jpg" alt="Critical Warning: The Risks of Using Public Wi-Fi Networks" class="wp-image-412" srcset="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/write-an-attention-grabbing-college-essay-1024x613.jpg 1024w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/write-an-attention-grabbing-college-essay-300x180.jpg 300w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/write-an-attention-grabbing-college-essay-768x460.jpg 768w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/write-an-attention-grabbing-college-essay-450x269.jpg 450w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/write-an-attention-grabbing-college-essay-780x467.jpg 780w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/write-an-attention-grabbing-college-essay.jpg 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>Critical Warning: The Risks of Using Public Wi-Fi Networks</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Hacking Your Data</h2>



<p>The biggest threat to <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/how-vpn-encryption-works/" class="rank-math-link">free Wi-Fi security</a> is the ability for the hacker to position himself between you and the connection point. So instead of talking directly with the hotspot, you&#8217;re sending your information to the hacker, who then using it for worst reasons.</p>



<p>Hackers can also use an unsecured Wi-Fi connection to distribute malware. If you allow file-sharing across a network, the hacker can easily plant infected software on your computer. Some ingenious hackers have even managed to hack the connection point itself, causing a pop-up window to appear during the connection process offering an upgrade to a piece of popular software. Clicking the window installs the malware.</p>



<h2>Viruses And Malwares</h2>



<p>Public Wi-Fi networks isn&#8217;t secure at all, <strong>Viruses</strong> can use <strong>Wi</strong>&#8211;<strong>Fi</strong> to spread from computer to computer and in some cases leap between nearby <strong>networks</strong> to find new targets connected, the device can see and interact with other devices (PCs and servers) on the <strong>network</strong> according to the <strong>network</strong> sharing policies.</p>



<h2>Crypto Currencies Mining</h2>



<p>At the current time, cryptocurrencies mining is a hobby in the sense that miners actually have to enter into a certain degree of risk if they want to stake their time on a regular basis. However, this risk is now very much being reduced as it has been discovered that the best way to ensure that a mining rig will always be earning its owner a positive return is to factor in other sources of revenue, such as cryptocurrencies sales as well as purchasing services and mining hardware from others.</p>



<p>When connecting to a Public Wi-Fi, Hackers may found a way to mine crypto currencies directly on your device using your browser engine.</p>



<h2>Ads, Analytics &amp; Trackers Everywhere</h2>



<p>When connecting to a public Wi-Fi, be sure that these days there&#8217;s no service is free without cost.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>If you&#8217;re not paying for a product, You&#8217;re the product</p><cite>Quote about paying attention of free services.</cite></blockquote>



<p>As we mentioned, If you do not pay for a product, you&#8217;ll become the product, That&#8217;s simple!<br>The same thing applies on free Wi-Fi network, it can be made free for a purpose, Some places may offer a public WiFi network just for selling Ads or to develop an analytics tools to analyze your behavior.</p>



<h1>How to Avoid Risks of Public W-Fi Networks</h1>



<p>Ok, Now you maybe asking your self, <strong>What should i do about it?</strong><br>And how to avoid these kind of threads.</p>



<p><em>If you didn&#8217;t asked yourself that kind of question, Do not waste your time reading the rest of this article.</em> </p>



<p>Here&#8217;s how to protect yourself from these risks.</p>



<h2>Use a Good VPN</h2>



<p>According to the leading cyber security company <strong>Kaspersky</strong><br>The risks of using a public Wi-Fi networks can be solved by using a <a href="https://www.truevpns.com/features" class="rank-math-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">VPN with high encryption</a>. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>A virtual private network (VPN) connection is a &#8220;must&#8221; when connecting to your business through an unsecured connection, like a Wi-Fi hotspot. Even if a hacker manages to position himself in the middle of your connection, the data here will be strongly encrypted. Since most hackers are after an easy target, they&#8217;ll likely discard stolen information rather than put it through a lengthy decryption process.</p><cite>Kaspersky &#8211; Leading Cyber Security  Company</cite></blockquote>



<p><strong>But</strong>, of course <strong>not every VPN service provider is able to protect you</strong>, And some VPN providers may surely become over the line. What line, you ask? Well, as a Supreme Court Justice once said, “I’ll know it when I see it”. And we think that you will also know it when you see it.</p>



<p>A lot of VPN service provider pretends to offer the best security for the end-user by protecting user&#8217;s data from being sent to the ISP, <strong>But</strong> in-fact they&#8217;re collecting users&#8217; data internally for a purpose rather than protecting it.</p>



<p><strong>This is one of the dirty behaviors of free VPNs</strong>, And that&#8217;s the meaning of crossing the line.</p>



<p><strong>Here are some tips to help you out choosing a good VPN.</strong></p>



<p>Because we know that the meaning of choosing a <strong>good VPN</strong> is &#8220;Subjective&#8221;, And not easy, We have an article explaining <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/why-you-should-use-a-vpn-in-2020/" class="rank-math-link">how you can choose your best VPN provider</a>, We recommends to check it out.</p>



<h3>1. Avoid FREE VPNs</h3>



<p>For any cybersecurity company, using or even thinking about using a completely free VPN is a <strong>Big No</strong> that&#8217;s because as we mentioned, If you&#8217;re not paying for a product, You&#8217;re the product. </p>



<p>For me, As a cybersecurity specialist, Using a FREE VPN to protect you from risks of using a public Wi-Fi network is quite funny, it&#8217;s like you&#8217;re trying to find a hacker who wants to steal your data to protect your data! <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f602.png" alt="😂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>



<p>Running and maintaining a single VPN server can cost $2 to $10 a month in average to be paid every single month, so do you really think that there&#8217;s someone who&#8217;s willing to pay this money for the cloud infrastructures and just send it to you without a cost?</p>



<p>Of course, <strong>The costs will be higher than that!</strong> You properly asking your self, I&#8217;m not important, they can do what ever they wants with my data, but i&#8217;m not going to pay for a VPN anyway, So did you even realized that your personal data can be profiled and used for political reasons? or for another scheme such as predicting some sensitive information about you? </p>



<p>You can learn more about that in <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/the-story-behind-the-creation-of-truevpn/" class="rank-math-link">this article</a> </p>



<h3><br>2. Choose a Trusted VPN Provider</h3>



<p>A Trusted VPN Provider like <a href="https://www.truevpns.com" class="rank-math-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TrueVPN</a> is able to protect your data and extend the protection to the highest level of security. </p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">When you are living or staying in a restrictive country where personal rights are usually getting scrapped away, you will most likely have a problem when trying to access certain websites on the internet. Most of the time, the restrictive countries are enforcing their internet laws to their citizens, forcing them to follow the guidelines as laid out by the government.</p>



<p>The government will totally control the people’s behavior over the internet by using the technology that won’t allow them to exercise their online privacy rights or personal freedom on the internet. One of the methods used by the restrictive government to block your online traffic is by using a system called DPI or <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-deep-packet-inspection/" class="aioseop-link"><strong>Deep Packet Inspection</strong></a>.</p>



<p>What the <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-deep-packet-inspection/" class="aioseop-link">DPI</a> system is doing is that it will analyze the internet traffic that is coming through your ISP. It will identify your traffic type and either allow the traffic to reach the internet or block it. If you are using the regular ISP traffic, the system will allow you to access the internet, while if you are using the VPN traffic, the system can recognize it and block your connection from reaching the internet. This is an advanced traffic monitoring system installed by the restrictive government to prevent people from using private connections and force them to follow the government’s internet regulations.</p>



<h2>Background</h2>



<p>As TrueVPN focuses on security and privacy, It&#8217;s clear that DPI is a huge issue!<br>When talking about privacy and security, We must consider that DPI that performed by some countries for <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-vpn-blocking-and-how-to-bypass-it/" class="aioseop-link">VPN blocking</a> or any other political reason comes against user&#8217;s privacy.</p>



<p><strong>Why we consider it as a huge privacy issue?</strong><br>Alright, to answer that, we need to understand <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-deep-packet-inspection/" class="aioseop-link">how Deep Packet Inspection works.</a></p>



<p>Well, <strong>Deep packet inspection</strong> evaluates the data part and the header of a <strong>packet</strong> that is transmitted through an <strong>inspection</strong> point, weeding out any non-compliance to protocol, spam, viruses, intrusions, and any other defined criteria to block the <strong>packet</strong> from passing through the <strong>inspection</strong> point.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="700" height="305" src="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/700px-SSL_Deep_Inspection_Explanation.svg_.png" alt="" class="wp-image-415" srcset="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/700px-SSL_Deep_Inspection_Explanation.svg_.png 700w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/700px-SSL_Deep_Inspection_Explanation.svg_-300x131.png 300w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/700px-SSL_Deep_Inspection_Explanation.svg_-450x196.png 450w" sizes="(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px" /></figure>



<p>Deep packet inspection can examine the content of messages and identify the specific application or service it comes from. In addition, filters can be programmed to look for and reroute network traffic from a specific Internet Protocol (IP) address range or a certain online service like Facebook.</p>



<p>So by looking to the image above, We can see that DPI acts like <a aria-label="MITM Attacks (opens in a new tab)" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man-in-the-middle_attack" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="aioseop-link">MITM Attacks</a>, So the encrypted user&#8217;s traffic has to be decrypted to read its data then re-encrypt it again and re-send the encrypted data to the CA. So we <strong>MUST</strong> consider that this is a huge issue of user&#8217;s privacy.</p>



<h2>HOW TRUEVPN SOLVED THE ISSUE?</h2>



<p>Ok, At TrueVPN we believe deeply in security and user privacy, Every user has rights to privacy, because we believe that privacy is a human right and it should be respected.</p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"><p>All human beings have three lives: public, private, and secret.</p><cite><strong>Gabriel García Márquez</strong></cite></blockquote>



<p>For a long while, TrueVPN was trying to solve this issue and bypassing DPI without redirecting user&#8217;s traffic or missing with CA. If you do not know what is that means, So you must have a little knowledge of Networking.</p>



<h3>TRUEVPN RESEARCH</h3>



<p>Based on our Research, We&#8217;ve developed an AI tool to analyze the ISP&#8217;s connection policies before establishing the connection, by performing that, we can check if the ISP blocks the used VPN protocol by the user or recently performed Deep Packet Inspection or Bandwidth Throttling based on analytics data. This tool is powered by <a aria-label="Skytells&#039;s latest AI (opens in a new tab)" href="https://blog.skytells.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="aioseop-link">Skytells&#8217;s latest AI</a>, and its powerful enough to analyze these policies. </p>



<p>Of course these tools are deployed on <a href="https://www.truevpns.com" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">TrueVPN&#8217;s iOS App</a> for version <strong>2.5</strong> and later.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1024" height="386" src="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0642-1024x386.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-416" srcset="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0642-1024x386.jpg 1024w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0642-300x113.jpg 300w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0642-768x289.jpg 768w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0642-450x170.jpg 450w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0642-780x294.jpg 780w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0642.jpg 1242w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /><figcaption>Policy Checks feature on TrueVPN</figcaption></figure>



<h3>HOW IT WORKS?</h3>



<p>When you <a aria-label="Enable Policy Checks (opens in a new tab)" href="https://help.truevpns.com/kb/what-is-policy-checks/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" class="aioseop-link">Enable Policy Checks</a> on TrueVPN, The app will perform some checks before establishing the VPN connection, And try to solve any detected issues regarding the ISP or the living country if possible.</p>



<p>Lets give it an example, Imagine of a user named Doe, lives in country X, while country X is performing a Deep Packet Inspection targeting VPN providers to crack em down, So, When the users opens the VPN app and taps connect, Here&#8217;s what&#8217;s going to happen in the background</p>



<ol><li>User Taps or Clicks (Connect to a VPN)</li><li>The VPN app will choose the VPN protocol if it not set by user.</li><li>The App chooses iKEv2 or IPSec</li><li>The app begins to connect using IKEv2 or IPSec</li><li>The App receives connection timeout message</li></ol>



<p>And here&#8217;s why, When the App tries to choose the protocol on the 2nd step, it doesn&#8217;t check if the protocol has an issue regarding <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-vpn-blocking-and-how-to-bypass-it/" class="aioseop-link">VPN Blocking</a> in the current location or not, so it may ends up with connection timeout if it fails to connect.</p>



<p><strong>But</strong>, by using an analytics tools based on research such as <a href="https://help.truevpns.com/kb/what-is-policy-checks/" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Policy Checks Mechanisms </a>TrueVPN will perform the following steps regarding the connection.</p>



<ol><li>User Taps or Clicks on (Connect to a VPN)</li><li>TrueVPN performs some checks on user&#8217;s connection</li><li>If there&#8217;s an issue regarding the connection (See Image), The app tries to solve it first.</li><li>After solving the issue, The app will choose an obfuscated protocol</li><li> The app begins to connect using obfuscated protocol powered with proxy tunnel</li><li>The App receives success response from server.</li></ol>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="806" height="1024" src="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0644-806x1024.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-417" srcset="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0644-806x1024.jpg 806w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0644-236x300.jpg 236w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0644-768x975.jpg 768w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0644-1210x1536.jpg 1210w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0644-450x571.jpg 450w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0644-780x990.jpg 780w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/IMG_0644.jpg 1242w" sizes="(max-width: 806px) 100vw, 806px" /><figcaption>Bypassing Deep Packet Inspection</figcaption></figure>



<p>So by performing that, TrueVPN will only use a custom obfuscated protocols when needed, and these protocols are empowered by proxy tunnel to prevent DPI detection, And finally the app can bypass the VPN Blocking.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-drop-cap">One of the only ways to protect your right to privacy and information online is to use a VPN. Some websites infringe on those rights by blocking VPNs, but they do it for a good reason.</p>



<p>We&#8217;ve previously talked about <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-deep-packet-inspection/" class="aioseop-link">Deep Packet Inspection</a> including it&#8217;s usage, Today we&#8217;re going to talk about VPN blocking.</p>



<h2>VPN BLOCKING</h2>



<p><strong>VPN blocking</strong> is a technique used to block the encrypted protocol tunneling communications methods used by virtual private network (VPN) systems. Often used by large organizations such as national governments or corporations, it can act as a tool for computer security or Internet censorship by preventing the use of VPNs to bypass network firewall systems.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img width="1000" height="667" src="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/shutterstock_1083791540.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-392" srcset="https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/shutterstock_1083791540.jpg 1000w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/shutterstock_1083791540-300x200.jpg 300w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/shutterstock_1083791540-768x512.jpg 768w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/shutterstock_1083791540-450x300.jpg 450w, https://blog.truevpns.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/shutterstock_1083791540-780x520.jpg 780w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /></figure>



<p>Blocking VPN access can be done a few different ways. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_(computer_networking)" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ports</a> that are used by common VPN tunneling protocols, such as <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-Point_Tunneling_Protocol" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PPTP</a> or <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Layer_2_Tunneling_Protocol" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">L2TP</a>, to establish their connections and transfer data can be closed by system administrators to prevent their use on certain networks. Similarly, a website can prohibit access to its content by blocking access from IP addresses that are known to belong to VPN providers. Some governments have been known to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address_blocking" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">block all access to overseas IP addresses</a>, since VPN use can involve connecting to remote hosts that do not operate under that government&#8217;s jurisdiction.</p>



<h2>HOW VPNs ARE BLOCKED?</h2>



<p>Firewalls use advanced software to perform <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-deep-packet-inspection/" class="aioseop-link"><strong>Deep Packet Inspection (DPI)</strong></a> which can analyze the type and destination of every data packet traversing the network.</p>



<p>DPI is what allows your ISP to tell the difference between youtube, web browser, VPN, skype or any of 1000+ other types of traffic. DPI is how a network can throttle, restrict, or even block certain types of traffic.</p>



<p><strong>But here’s the key</strong>: If you can disguise your VPN traffic as regular web browser traffic, you can make it impossible for a network to block your VPN unless they’re willing to block all https browser traffic. Not likely.</p>



<h2>COUNTRIES BLOCKED USAGE OF VPNs</h2>



<p>As organizations have ramped up efforts to block VPN access which bypasses their firewalls, VPN providers have responded by utilizing more sophisticated techniques to make their connections less conspicuous. For instance, as the Chinese government began using&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/what-is-deep-packet-inspection/" class="aioseop-link">deep packet inspection</a>&nbsp;to identify VPN protocols, Golden Frog began scrambling&nbsp;OpenVPN&nbsp;packet metadata for its popular VyprVPN service in an attempt to avoid detection.</p>



<h3>1. China</h3>



<p>Chinese internet users started reporting unstable connections in May 2011 while using VPNs to connect to overseas websites and services such as the&nbsp;Apple App Store.&nbsp;<br>Universities and businesses began issuing notices to stop using tools to circumvent the firewall.</p>



<p>In late 2012, companies providing VPN services claimed the&nbsp;Great Firewall of China&nbsp;became able to &#8220;learn, discover and block&#8221; the encrypted communications methods used by a number of different VPN systems. In 2017, telecommunications carriers in China were instructed by the government to block individuals&#8217; use of VPNs by February 2018.</p>



<h3>2. Iran</h3>



<p>The government of&nbsp;Iran&nbsp;began blocking access to non-government sanctioned VPNs in March 2013,&nbsp;a few months prior to the&nbsp;2013 elections, to &#8220;prosecute users who are violating state laws&#8221; and &#8220;take offenders to national courts under supervision of judiciary service&#8221;. Use of VPNs approved by the government reportedly led to surveillance and inspection of private data.</p>



<h3>3. Russia</h3>



<p>In July 2017, the&nbsp;State Duma&nbsp;passed a bill requiring the Internet providers to block websites that offer VPNs, in order to prevent the spreading of &#8220;extremist materials&#8221; on the Internet. It&#8217;s unclear exactly how Russia plans to implement their new regulation; though it seems like both the Federal Security Service (FSB) and ISPs will be tasked with identifying and cracking down on VPNs. <br>Russian internet users have also reported a block on the ExpressVPN VPN service. In November, 2017 BBC made it clear that Russia has not banned VPN usage entirely. VPN usage is only banned when attempting to access sites already blocked by Roskomnadzor or Russia&#8217;s governing body for telecommunications and mass media communications, Using a VPN for business or personal reasons to access legal sites in Russia is permitted.</p>



<h3>4. Syria</h3>



<p>The government of Syria activated deep packet inspection after the uprising in 2011 in order to block VPN connections. The censorship targeted different VPN protocols like OpenVPN, L2TP and PPTP.</p>



<h2>BYPASS VPN BLOCKING</h2>



<p>VPN providers are aware that some ISPs/networks are blocking VPN traffic. That’s why they invented ‘Stealth’ VPN technology.</p>



<p>A stealth VPN can disguise/scramble your VPN traffic so it’s either not identifiable as VPN traffic, or even better — disguised as regular TLS encrypted web traffic.</p>



<p>Here are the two tried and true techniques to unblock your VPN service on almost any network:</p>



<h3>#1 – Run OpenVPN on port 443</h3>



<p>Port 443 is the port commonly used by SSL/TLS encrypted web traffic. This is a standard internet encryption protocol that you use every time you access a website with sensitive account data, like your bank, credit card, or tax account.</p>



<p>Since OpenVPN already uses the SSL encryption library, simply by switching the port # to 443, it will easily slip through all but the most rigorous DPI firewalls.</p>



<h4>How to use port 443</h4>



<p>Most high-quality, paid VPN services will allow you to switch the port # (or have dedicated server locations that access port 443). If you need help setting it up, just contact tech support for you VPN provider.</p>



<h3> #2 – StealthVPN / Obfuscation</h3>



<p>Even if you use port 443, most VPN protocols still have a data packet ‘header’ which is like a fingerprint that can potentially allow a firewall to recognize traffic as VPN traffic.</p>



<p>By using a VPN service that has Obuscation or ‘Stealth’ technology, your VPN connection can rewrite or obscure the packet headers (smudge the fingerprint) so it’s unrecognizable.</p>



<h4>VPN with stealth/obfuscation technology:</h4>



<ul><li><a href="https://www.truevpns.com" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>TrueVPN</strong></a> (<strong>Score</strong>: 4.9 out of 5)</li></ul>



<h3>#3 &#8211; Use WireGuard Protocol</h3>



<p>Use a VPN that supports WireGuard protocol, such as <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/6-reasons-why-you-should-use-truevpn-for-gaming/" class="aioseop-link">TrueVPN</a></p>



<p><em>WireGuard</em> is a security-focused virtual private network (VPN) known for its simplicity and ease of use. It uses proven cryptography protocols and algorithms to protect data. Originally developed for the Linux kernel, it is now deployable on Windows, macOS, BSD, iOS and Android.<br>Why to use WireGuard? We&#8217;ve talked about why you should use it in <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/6-reasons-why-you-should-use-truevpn-for-gaming/" class="aioseop-link">this article</a>.</p>

<h2>Summary</h2>



<p>We’ve learned 3 different ways to unblock your VPN on any network, and get through any firewall.</p>



<p>The easiest solution is often the best, and you’ll find 90%+ success by using either OpenVPN on port 443, or a <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/why-you-should-use-truevpn/" class="aioseop-link">VPN with built-in obfuscation</a> technology.</p>



<p>And if after exhausting all options you still find yourself blocked, then go with obfsproxy and Tor as the ultimate unblocker.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-drop-cap">Deep packet inspection, which is also known as DPI, information extraction, IX, or complete packet inspection, is a type of network packet filtering. Deep packet inspection evaluates the data part and the header of a packet that is transmitted through an inspection point, weeding out any non-compliance to protocol, spam, viruses, intrusions, and any other defined criteria to block the packet from passing through the inspection point.</p>



<p>Deep packet inspection is also used to decide if a particular packet is redirected to another destination. In short, deep packet inspection is able to locate, detect, categorize, block, or reroute packets that have specific code or data payloads that are not detected, located, categorized, blocked, or redirected by conventional packet filtering. Unlike plain packet filtering, deep packet inspection goes beyond examining packet headers.</p>



<h1>HOW DEEP PACKET INSPECTION WORKS?</h1>



<p>Deep packet inspection is a form of packet filtering usually carried out as a function of your firewall. It is applied at the Open Systems Interconnection&#8217;s application layer.</p>



<p>Deep packet inspection&nbsp;evaluates the contents&nbsp;of a packet that is going through a checkpoint. Using rules that are assigned by you, your Internet service provider, or the network or systems administrator, deep packet inspection determines what to do with these packets in real time.</p>



<p>Deep packet inspection is able to check the contents of these packets and then figure out where it came from, such as the service or application that sent it. In addition, it can work with filters in order to find and redirect network traffic from an online service, such as Twitter or Facebook, or from a particular IP address.</p>



<h1>DPI VS. CONVENTIONAL PACKET FILTERING</h1>



<p>Conventional packet filtering only reads the header information of each packet. This was a basic approach that was less sophisticated than the modern approach to packet filtering largely due to the technology limitations at the time. Firewalls had very little processing power, and it was not enough to handle large volumes of packets. In other words, conventional packet filtering was similar to reading the title of a book, without awareness or evaluation of the content inside the cover.</p>



<p>With the advent of new technologies, deep packet inspection became feasible. As it became more thorough and complete, it became more comparable to picking up a book, cracking it open, and reading it from cover to cover.</p>



<h1>USE CASES FOR DPI</h1>



<p>There are several uses for deep packet inspection. It can act as both an intrusion detection system or a combination of intrusion prevention and intrusion detection. It can identify specific attacks that your firewall, intrusion prevention, and intrusion detection systems cannot adequately detect.</p>



<p>If your organization has users who are using their laptops for work, then deep packet inspection is vital in preventing worms, spyware, and viruses from getting into your corporate network. Furthermore, using deep packet inspection is based on rules and policies defined by you, allowing your network to detect if there are prohibited uses of approved applications.</p>



<p>Deep packet inspection is also used by network managers to help ease the flow of network traffic. For instance, if you have a high priority message, you can use deep packet inspection to enable high-priority information to pass through immediately, ahead of other lower priority messages. You can also prioritize packets that are mission-critical, ahead of ordinary browsing packets. If you have problems with peer-to-peer downloads, you can use deep packet inspection to throttle or slow down the rate of data transfer. DPI can also be used to enhance the capabilities of ISPs to prevent the exploitation of IoT devices in DDOS attacks by&nbsp;blocking malicious requests&nbsp;from devices.</p>



<p>Mobile service operators and other similar service providers also use deep packet inspection to tailor-fit their offerings to individual subscribers allowing them to differentiate data usage as “all you can eat,” wall garden, or value added. Record labels and other copyright holders can also request ISPs to block their content from being downloaded illegally – a process achieved through deep packet inspection.</p>



<p>Other times, deep packet inspection is used to serve targeted advertising to users, lawful interception, and policy enforcement. Deep packet inspection can also prevent some types of buffer overflow attacks.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Lastly, deep packet inspection can help you prevent anybody from leaking information, such as when e-mailing a confidential file. Instead of being able to successfully send out a file, the user will instead receive information on how to get the necessary permission and clearance to send it.</p>



<p>As with other technologies, deep packet inspection can also be used for less than admirable purposes, such as eavesdropping and censorship. In fact, the&nbsp;Chinese government&nbsp;has been known to use deep packet inspection to monitor the country&#8217;s network traffic and censor some content and sites that are harmful to their interests. This is how China has been able to block out pornography, religious information, materials concerning political dissent, and even popular websites such as Wikipedia, Google, and Facebook.</p>



<p>While DPI has many potential use cases, it can easily detect the recipient or sender of the content that it monitors, so there are some concerns around privacy. This is primarily a concern when DPI is used in the context of marketing and advertising, through monitoring the behavior of users and selling browsing and other data to marketing or advertising companies.</p>



<h1>DEEP PACKET INSPECTION TECHNIQUES</h1>



<p>Two primary types of products utilize deep packet inspection: firewalls that have implemented features of IDS, such as content inspection, and IDS systems that aim to protect the network rather than focus only on detecting attacks. Some of the&nbsp;main techniques&nbsp;used for deep packet inspection include:</p>



<p>●<strong>&nbsp;Pattern or signature matching</strong>&nbsp;– One approach to using firewalls that have adopted IDS features, pattern or signature matching, analyzes each packet against a database of known network attacks. The downside to this approach is that it’s effective only for known attacks, and not for attacks that have yet to be discovered.<br>●&nbsp;<strong>Protocol anomaly</strong>&nbsp;– Another approach to using firewalls with IDS features, protocol anomaly uses a “default deny” approach, which is a key security principle. Using this technique, protocol definitions are used to determine which content should be allowed. This differs from the approach of simply allowing all content that doesn’t match the signatures database, as occurs in the case of pattern or signature matching. The primary benefit of protocol anomaly is that it offers protection against unknown attacks.<br>●<strong>&nbsp;IPS solutions</strong>&nbsp;– Some IPS solutions implement DPI technologies. These solutions have similar functionality to in-line IDS, although they have the ability to block detected attacks in real-time. One of the biggest challenges in using this technique is the risk of false positives, which can be mitigated to some extent through the creation of conservative policies.</p>



<p>Some limitations exist with these and other DPI techniques, although vendors offer solutions aiming to eliminate the practical and architectural challenges through various means. Additionally, DPI solutions are now offering a range of other complimentary technologies such as VPNs, malware analysis, anti-spam filtering, URL filtering, and other technologies, providing more comprehensive network protection.</p>



<h1>CHALLENGES OF DPI</h1>



<p>No technology is perfect, and deep packet inspection is no exception. It has three distinct weaknesses:</p>



<p>1. Deep packet inspection is very effective in preventing attacks such as denial of service attacks, buffer overflow attacks, and even some forms of malware. But it can also be used to<strong>&nbsp;create similar attacks</strong>.&nbsp;</p>



<p>2. Deep packet inspection can make your current firewall and other security software you use more&nbsp;<strong>complicated and harder to manage</strong>. You need to be sure that you constantly update and revise deep packet inspection policies to ensure continued effectiveness.</p>



<p>3. Deep packet inspection can<strong>&nbsp;slow down your network&nbsp;</strong>by dedicating resources for your firewall to be able to handle the processing load.</p>



<p>Aside from privacy concerns and the inherent limitations of deep packet inspection, some concerns have arisen due to the use of HTTPS certificates and even VPNs with privacy tunneling. Some firewalls are now offering HTTPS inspections, which would decrypt the HTTPS-protected traffic and determine whether the content is permitted to pass through. However, deep packet inspection continues to be a&nbsp;valuable practice&nbsp;for purposes ranging from performance management to network analytics, forensics, and enterprise security.</p>



<h1><strong>GOVERNMENTAL USE OF DPI</strong></h1>



<p>In addition to using DPI for the security of their own networks, governments in North America, Europe, and Asia use DPI for various purposes such as&nbsp;surveillance&nbsp;and&nbsp;censorship. <br>Many of these programs are classified.</p>



<h2>United States</h2>



<p>FCC adopts Internet&nbsp;CALEA&nbsp;requirements: The FCC, pursuant to its mandate from the U.S. Congress, and in line with the policies of most countries worldwide, has required that all telecommunication providers, including Internet services, be capable of supporting the execution of a court order to provide real-time communication forensics of specified users. In 2006, the FCC adopted new Title 47, Subpart Z, rules requiring Internet Access Providers to meet these requirements. DPI was one of the platforms essential to meeting this requirement and has been deployed for this purpose throughout the U.S.</p>



<h2>China</h2>



<p>The Chinese government uses Deep Packet Inspection to monitor and censor network traffic and content that it claims is harmful to Chinese citizens or state interests. This material includes pornography, information on religion, and political dissent.&nbsp;<br>Chinese network&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISP" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ISPs</a>&nbsp;use DPI to see if there is any sensitive keyword going through their network. If so, the connection will be cut. People within China often find themselves blocked while accessing Web sites containing content related to&nbsp;Taiwanese&nbsp;and&nbsp;Tibetan&nbsp;independence,&nbsp;Falun Gong, the&nbsp;Dalai Lama, the&nbsp;<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tiananmen Square protests and massacre of 1989</a>, political parties that oppose that of the ruling Communist party, or a variety of anti-Communist movements &nbsp;as those materials were signed as DPI sensitive keywords already. China previously blocked all VoIP traffic in and out of their country&nbsp;but many available VOIP applications now function in China. Voice traffic in&nbsp;Skype&nbsp;is unaffected, although text messages are subject to filtering, and messages containing sensitive material, such as curse-words, are simply not delivered, with no notification provided to either participant in the conversation. China also blocks visual media sites such as YouTube.com and various photography and blogging sites.</p>



<h2>Iran</h2>



<p>The Iranian government purchased a system, reportedly for deep packet inspection, in 2008 from Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) (a joint venture Siemens AG, the German conglomerate, and Nokia Corp., the Finnish cell telephone company), now NSN is Nokia Solutions and Networks, according to a report in the <em>Wall Street Journal</em> in June, 2009, quoting NSN spokesperson Ben Roome. According to unnamed experts cited in the article, the system enables authorities to not only block communication but to monitor it to gather information about individuals, as well as alter it for disinformation purposes.</p>



<h2>Russian Federation</h2>



<p>DPI is not yet mandated in Russia.&nbsp;Federal Law №139&nbsp;enforces blocking websites on the&nbsp;Russian Internet blacklist&nbsp;using IP filtering, but does not force ISPs into analyzing the data part of packets. Yet some ISPs still use different DPI solutions to implement blacklisting. For 2019, the governmental agency&nbsp;Roskomnadzor&nbsp;is planning a nationwide rollout of DPI after a pilot project in one of the country&#8217;s regions, at an estimated cost of 20 billion roubles (US$300M).</p>



<p></p>



<h2>Singapore</h2>



<p>The city state reportedly employs deep packet inspection of Internet traffic.</p>



<h2>Syria</h2>



<p>The state reportedly employs deep packet inspection of Internet traffic, to analyze and block unallowed transit.</p>



<h2>Malaysia</h2>



<p>The incumbent Malaysian Government, headed by Barisan Nasional, was said to be using DPI against a political opponent during the run-up to the 13th general elections held on 5 May 2013.</p>



<p>The purpose of DPI, in this instance, was to block and/or hinder access to selected websites, e.g. Facebook accounts, blogs and news portals.</p>



<h2>Egypt</h2>



<p>Since 2015, Egypt reportedly started to join the list which was constantly being denied by the Egyptian National Telecom Regulatory Authority (NTRA) officials. However, it came to news when the country decided to block the encrypted messaging app&nbsp;Signal&nbsp;as announced by the application&#8217;s developer.</p>



<p>In April 2017, all VOIP applications including FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Viber, Whatsapp calls and Skype have been all blocked in the country.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="has-drop-cap">Encryption has a long history. The ancient Greeks would send messages to each other using codes, and these codes could only be broken using a secret key. Today, most (reputable) websites use the same principle to keep your data safe from eavesdroppers.</p>



<p>People who take security seriously go even further, and choose to add another level of encryption to the data they send and receive online. The easiest and most effective way of doing this is to use a virtual private network (VPN), which offers strong encryption for everything you do online. For this reason, VPNs are particularly important when you are traveling, and for businesses looking to boost their cybersecurity.</p>



<p>In this article, we’ll look at how encryption works, and how it makes sure that the web is secure.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>The History of Encryption</strong></p>



<p>To understand modern encryption techniques, it helps to look at where they came from. The Enigma machine was arguably the first automated encryption device, used during WW2 to encode military orders. This machine replaced every letter of the original message (called the “plaintext”) with another letter, and it did this by using a different encoding every time. This is still the basis for encryption.</p>



<p>The history of computational encryption begins with DES, a cipher that was selected for military and civilian use by the US government in 1976, but that was quickly replaced with faster encryption protocols in the 1990s. Among these were <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RC5" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">RC5</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_(cipher)" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Blowfish</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Data_Encryption_Algorithm" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">IDEA</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NewDES" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NewDES</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAFER" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">SAFER</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAST5" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CAST5</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FEAL" class="aioseop-link" target="_blank" rel="noopener">FEAL</a>. All of these encryption schemes work in essentially the same way. A computer replaces every letter of the plaintext message with another, based on a method which is stored in a secret key. And that is still the way that modern encryption works.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Modern Encryption Protocols</strong></p>



<p>The first thing to understand about modern encryption protocols is that there are quite a few of them. Each is suited to a different purpose, but there is generally a trade-off between speed and security. Serpent, for instance, is a highly secure encryption protocol that is very slow. AES, by contrast, still offers essentially unbreakable encryption, but is much faster. That’s why we use AES-126 or -256 for VPNSecure, and why we let you choose your encryption level for the best performance.</p>



<p>Beyond this basic description, there are two main types of encryption: symmetric and asymmetric.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Symmetric Encryption</strong></p>



<p>Symmetric encryption is less common than its asymmetric counterpart, so I’ll describe it quickly. In this method, the same ‘key’ is used to encrypt and decrypt messages. The key contains information on (roughly) which letters in the plaintext have been swapped for which other letters in the encoded message. Both the sender and the recipient of the message have the same key, and encryption and decryption are done in the same way.</p>



<p>There is, though, an obvious difficulty with symmetric encryption: how do you share the key without it being intercepted.</p>



<p class="has-medium-font-size"><strong>Asymmetric Encryption</strong></p>



<p>This is the problem that asymmetric encryption was designed to solve. In asymmetric encryption, messages are coded and decoded using different keys.</p>



<p>Put simply, it works like this. Each person has a pair of keys, a public key and a private key (it is for this reason that asymmetric encryption is sometimes called ‘public key cryptography). The sender of a message encrypts their message using the public key of the person they want to send the message to. This key is publicly available, but cannot be used to decrypt the message again: it only works one way. To decrypt the message, the recipient of the message uses his or her private key.</p>



<p>Asymmetric encryption has the huge advantage that no-one has to send the encryption key over public networks, and so it remains secret.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>How Encryption Secures The Web</strong></p>



<p>This basic description is given, let’s look at how asymmetric encryption works on the web.</p>



<p>The most common encryption system used to access secure web pages, for instance, is called secure sockets layer (SSL). When your browser requests a secure page (denoted by https:// in the address bar), the server for the page sends its public key, along with a certificate that proves it is legitimate. Your web browser uses this key to encrypt another key, this time a randomly generated symmetric key. The server decrypts this second key using its private key. Then, both your browser and the server can communicate using symmetric encryption, but there is no chance that anyone else can eavesdrop.</p>



<p>SSL encryption like this is an integral part of the modern web. It is such a widespread and important part of the way the web works, in fact, using encryption improves a website’s relative rank in Google’s index. But unfortunately, SSL is not perfect. Though it encrypts information that is passing between your computer and a secure website, it does not encrypt other parts of your system.</p>



<p>The most obvious is the connection between your computer and the WiFi router you are connected to, which represents a huge security risk. To encrypt that part of your connection, you need to use a VPN. This is especially true if you are connecting to public WiFi, and to stay safe when working remotely. A VPN works in a similar way to SSL encryption, but with a crucial difference – it is not just the connection between your computer and a website that is encrypted, but everything that your computer sends and receives.</p>

<p class="has-large-font-size"><strong>Encrypt Everything</strong></p>



<p>Encrypting as much of your data as possible is important for a number of reasons. Not only does this make you far less vulnerable to cyberattack, but encrypting your data via a VPN also keeps you anonymous online. After all, it is not only hackers that want to know what you are doing online – the government, advertising agencies, and plenty of other people also want this information.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>If you’re in the market to take your gaming up a notch, look no further than TrueVPN. Between faster connection speeds, a secure layer of anonymity and security, access to region-restricted games, and more, this new and improved VPN Provider provides some awesome gaming perks.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">Ultrafast Speed</p>



<p>There’s no doubt that almost every gamer has faced the same predicament: you’re enjoying your favorite game while connected to a VPN, and suddenly your connection slows down to an unbearably lagging speed. While VPNs offer security and privacy benefits, they also tend to affect your connection speeds. By using the TrueVPN on WireGuard protocol, however, you can still enjoy the same VPN perks without having to sacrifice your speed. WireGuard offers the fastest VPN speeds when compared to other protocols, making it possible to game securely without interruptions to your connection.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">Access to Restricted Games</p>



<p>Ever find that you want to access a new game, but you can’t because it hasn’t been released in your region yet? In order to bypass this pesky block, you can use <a href="https://blog.truevpns.com/the-story-behind-the-creation-of-truevpn/" class="aioseop-link">TrueVPN</a> to hide your true location and make it appear as if you are located somewhere where the game is available. </p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">Lower Latency</p>



<p>Another perk of TrueVPN is that it can potentially lower latency to game servers, Thanks to WireGuard Protocol for that. Internet congestion, especially during high-traffic times, can impact your connection and cause annoying latency issues. TrueVPN provides a better route to the servers you’re trying to connect to while you play so you won’t experience as much interference. </p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">No More Bans</p>



<p>If you’ve ever made an admin angry and gotten kicked out of a game, you know the struggle is real with this one. Being banned from a game means your IP address is banned. Once you connect to a VPN with TrueVPN, however, your true IP address is hidden and you can play with a different IP address. You can even regularly switch server locations to keep changing your IP address and keep your identity totally hidden.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">Protection from DDoS Attacks</p>



<p>Getting hit by what’s known as a DDoS attack can ruin an entire gaming session. A DDoS attack, short for distributed denial of service, happens when your connection is overwhelmed with information in order to block your data from reaching the server, ultimately kicking you out of your game. These attacks are coordinated by third parties who target your IP address right under your nose. The scary part is that just about anyone can launch a DDoS attack—including anyone you may have ticked off in the gaming world. While many ISPs implement protection against these attacks, using TrueVPN adds an extra layer of security that makes your connection virtually bulletproof. </p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">Especially-made Gaming VPN Servers</p>



<p>Using a regular VPN servers for gaming for streaming is not recommended for gamers.<br>Why? Because these servers aren&#8217;t optimized for speed, so by using a regular VPN server for gaming or streaming may effect the performance because these services requires a high-speed VPN servers with at least 1Gbps port.</p>



<p>TrueVPN provides especially-made VPN servers only for Gaming and Streaming, These servers are optimized for speed &amp; performance, of course the connection between the user and these servers are highly encrypted and have the same privacy features as other servers have.</p>



<p>These servers are geolocated, and can be found within TrueVPN app.</p>

<p class="has-drop-cap">For as long as the internet has existed, there has been a need for protocols to keep data private and secure. Yes, You can protect yourself and protect your family by using a VPN.<br><strong>But have you ever thought about traffic-logging?</strong><br>Some VPN providers logs and even sell your traffic data, <strong>and you probably don&#8217;t even know it.</strong></p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">What is Traffic Logs?</p>



<p>The <strong>traffic log</strong> contains details of the <strong>traffic</strong> being monitored by Websense Data Security over specific periods and the action taken. For the endpoint channel, the <strong>log</strong> displays only <strong>traffic</strong> that breaches policy.</p>



<p>These logs are captured by many VPN providers specially the free ones who claims that they never logs user&#8217;s traffic data.</p>



<p>Take PureVPN as example, For people who don&#8217;t know; PureVPN is one of the leading VPN providers who claims ZERO-LOG privacy policy.</p>



<p>In 2018, following news that PureVPN had helped the FBI to solve a crime by providing connection logs for its servers, the firm decided to change its logging policies to become zero-logs.</p>



<p>While the case in which PureVPN helped the FBI to perform a time-correlation attack was extremely targeted &#8211; and in our eyes did not unduly tarnish its reputation &#8211; it is always a positive step for any VPN to decide to become a no logs service.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Now, PureVPN has taken its no-logs claims to the next level, by getting an independent seal of approval that its policies are water tight. The audit puts PureVPN in-league with a minority of commercial VPNs that have forked out from their own pockets to have their service verified by independent auditors.</p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">What is the issue?</p>



<p>Ok, From the creation of the VPN (Virtual Private Network), <strong>VPNs</strong> mask your internet protocol (IP) address so your online actions are virtually untraceable. Most important, <strong>VPN</strong> services establish secure and encrypted connections to provide greater <strong>privacy</strong> than even a secured Wi-Fi hotspot.</p>



<p>Ok, Now imagine if these private providers owns your traffic logs, So at this point these may be a threatening scheme, because rather than saving privacy, now we&#8217;re exposing our privacy to another party.  </p>



<p class="has-large-font-size">How TrueVPN Solved this issue?</p>
