3 Ways to Use VPN on PC / Laptop (100% Passing Positive Internet)

If you have problems with blocked sites, Positive Internet, or internet access abroad, maybe you can consider using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). From the name alone we can mean that a VPN is a network private, where you can surf the internet without being recognized.

Some of the VPN applications used provide a feature to select the location and connection speed provided by server-his. You can choose server abroad to be able to watch that country’s TV broadcasts live on line. Or you can also watch football with a faster connection.
