It might seem an extremely complex task, yet downloading and installing a VPN network on your computer is not that difficult at all. It is enough, in fact, to choose one of the many services that are present on the web and it is practically done.

A VPN network, by the way, brings with it a number of advantages. First of all, it guarantees a considerable protection against malicious third parties who intend to spy and steal data of other users, but at the same time it also allows you to carry out other activities, such as accessing content offered in streaming that before were impossible to see because of active geographical blocks.

The first step: check compatibility

One of the first aspects to take into account is to check the compatibility of your device. This is a compulsory step that should always be taken in advance. Nowadays, in fact, there are a lot of brands that are fighting to offer the most complete and reliable VPN service: well, one of the factors on which you look for more competition, in addition to the price of course, is the group of compatible devices.

In case the goal is to install a VPN network on a computer rather than on a mobile device with iOS or Android operating system, there will be no particular problems to face. In fact, by now most of the VPN services that are offered are characterized by ensuring full compatibility with these two technological tools, even if in reality the list of compatible devices is always much wider.

Just to give you an example, you can choose to install a VPN network on other types of devices, such as consoles, Xbox or PlayStation, as well as various TV boxes, including Amazon Fire Stick. In short, just take a look at the compatibility guaranteed by each VPN service and you will be able to find the one that best suits your needs.

Installing a VPN network on Windows operating systems

This is one of the easiest installation tasks to complete. A process that, in fact, has many aspects in common with all the various VPN services. The first step involves installing the application on your computer, logging in and activating its secure connection.

In case you already have a VPN service active, which for example is linked to the company network for smartworking, you can also connect without having to make any kind of download. In fact, this can be conveniently done from the Windows 10 network settings.

Having a VPN server already available, the connection procedure is a piece of cake, since you just need to go inside the Windows 10 settings, locate the Network and Internet item, clicking on network settings. Once here, you’ll have to find the VPN entry and make a click, and then make another one on “Add VPN connection” from which you can continue with the configuration of the protected network, entering the various data of the VPN service you purchased.
