How does a VPN for chat apps work?

A VPN (virtual private network) is a service that secures your online traffic. VPNs create an encrypted tunnel for your traffic and protects your online identity by masking your IP address. With a reliable VPN service, you can browse and use messaging apps safely on any network — including public Wi-Fi hotspots.

Why are chat apps blocked in some countries?

Chat apps might face bans for various reasons. Countries with heavy internet censorship may block chat apps to control the flow of information. In other cases, governments may implement such bans to protect the revenue of local telecommunications companies. Additionally, schools and workplaces may block these apps to minimize distractions and increase productivity.
