Thunder VPN is a comprehensive piece of software that encrypts your data and anonymizes your internet activities.

Over the last few years, countless reports from around the world have revealed just how much data is stolen every single day. From the moment that you get on the internet, you are going to have multiple companies collecting and parsing your data, and that information will often be sold to the highest bidder. Thunder VPN is a type of security software that essentially encrypts all of the data that you upload and download. You won’t be impervious to dedicated attacks, but this program is going to make your personal data much more secure.

Even though VPNs can be very powerful, they work on a relatively simple premise. When you connect to the internet through an ISP provider, that party will have access to all of the information that you send and receive. In order to prevent those companies from snooping on you, a VPN will create a secure connection with a remote server. After you have connected to that server, it will be nearly impossible for anyone to collect your data or track your internet habits.

Unlike many other VPNs, Thunder VPN is completely free, and you can choose from nine different servers throughout the world. Most of the servers are located in the United States, but you also have the option of choosing servers in the UK or Japan. Once you have connected to a server, you can surf the internet just like you would normally. The speeds are going to be affected by the VPN, but you shouldn’t notice any major problems unless you are streaming videos or downloading large files.

While your upload and download speeds might be compromised, you can use this software on your personal WiFi network, a mobile network, or public hotspots. Many people don’t realize that public hotspots have notoriously bad security, and using a VPN will protect you and your device when you are on those networks. You will also have the ability to create a secure mobile hotspot through your smartphone. Once that hotspot is up and running, you can connect to it with your laptop, desktop, or tablet PC.

Thunder VPN is a free app, and you aren’t going to get excellent speeds or amazing support from the development team. That being said, this VPN is a decent option for those who would like some security without paying huge sums of money every month. You might also enjoy Thunder VPN if you are having a tough time accessing websites or files that are regionally locked.
