Protect the Financial Side of Your Digital Life.
Tax documents, financial accounts, banking activity and personal information increasingly move through connected devices. A VPN can add another layer of privacy by encrypting supported internet traffic and helping conceal your public IP address while you're online.
Financial Privacy Starts With Your Connection.
A VPN routes supported internet traffic through an encrypted connection to the VPN provider.
Taxes, banking, budgeting and personal financial information can all pass through the devices you use every day.
Planning Ahead Should Include Your Online Privacy.
Hatchitt's approach is built around being proactive with your financial life. That same mindset can apply to the way you connect online. Financial information is increasingly accessed through laptops, phones, tablets and wireless networks.
Financial forms and records may contain sensitive personal information worth treating carefully.
Banking, credit and financial portals are now part of everyday household money management.
Work, travel and public Wi-Fi can move sensitive online activity outside your normal home network.
Add Privacy to the Connections You Rely On.
A VPN is not a replacement for good cybersecurity habits, but it can provide another layer of connection privacy during normal online activity.
Encrypt Your Connection
Supported internet traffic is encrypted between your device and the VPN service, helping provide additional privacy while information travels across the network.
Mask Your Public IP
Most websites will see the public IP address of the VPN server rather than the IP associated with your direct internet connection.
Add Privacy on Public Wi-Fi
A VPN can add an encrypted layer between your device and the VPN server when using hotel, airport, coffee shop or other shared networks.
Protect Your Mobile Routine
Many VPN providers support laptops, phones and tablets, helping you maintain similar privacy habits across the devices you use most.
Reduce Network Visibility
A VPN encrypts the traffic moving to its server, reducing the amount of information visible on the local network and to your internet provider.
Make Privacy Easier
Once installed, a VPN can become part of your normal routine without requiring you to manually configure your connection every time you go online.
A More Private Route Between You and the Internet.
The technology works in the background to change how supported internet traffic travels from your device to its destination.
Instead of your supported internet traffic traveling directly from your device to its destination, a VPN first sends it through an encrypted connection to the VPN provider.
Your Device Connects
You go online from your computer, phone or another supported device just as you normally would.
The VPN Encrypts the Connection
Supported traffic is encrypted as it travels between your device and the VPN provider's server.
The VPN Server Connects Online
Your internet request continues from the VPN server to the website or online service you're using.
Your Normal Public IP Is Concealed
The destination generally sees the VPN server's public IP address instead of the one assigned to your direct connection.
Think About Everything You Access Through a Screen.
Tax planning is only one part of your financial picture. Modern households also manage bank accounts, budgets, credit, documents and financial communication online.
A VPN gives supported devices an additional privacy layer while those digital connections are being used.
Your Public IP Is One Piece of Information You Share Online.
Internet connections require a public IP address so data can be routed to the correct destination. That address can also reveal general information about the network you're connecting from.
With a VPN active, online destinations normally see the public address of the VPN server instead of your direct internet connection.
A Proactive Financial Life Should Include Digital Privacy.
What Actually Changes When You Use a VPN?
The biggest differences involve how supported traffic travels and which public IP address online destinations see.
A VPN Adds Privacy. It Doesn't Replace Smart Security.
Just like financial planning works best with multiple strategies, online security works best in layers. A VPN should complement strong passwords, account protections, software updates and careful browsing.
The encrypted tunnel runs between your device and the VPN provider.
Most destinations see the VPN server address while connected.
Unsafe downloads, compromised passwords and malicious websites still require normal security precautions.
Logged-in accounts, cookies and other technologies can still identify or recognize users.
Digital Privacy Without the Technical Jargon.
You shouldn't need to be a cybersecurity professional to understand the basics of protecting your internet connection.
A VPN creates an encrypted connection between your device and a VPN server. Your supported internet traffic then continues from that server to its destination.
A VPN can protect the connection between your device and the VPN server, but it does not replace the security provided by your bank, financial institution or account. Strong passwords and multi-factor authentication remain important.
Most websites and online services will normally see the public IP address of the VPN server instead of the public IP associated with your direct internet connection.
A VPN can add an encrypted connection between your device and the VPN provider while using shared networks such as airports, hotels and coffee shops.
No. VPNs and antivirus products address different risks. A VPN primarily protects connection privacy, while antivirus software is designed to detect and respond to malicious software.
Some reduction in speed can occur because traffic must be encrypted and routed through another server. Performance varies depending on the provider, server location, device and connection.
Protect More Than Your Finances. Protect How You Connect.
You already think about protecting your taxes, budget, credit and financial future. Add another layer of privacy to the devices and internet connections that help you manage them.
VPN capabilities vary by provider, device and configuration. A VPN does not guarantee anonymity, prevent all cyber threats, secure individual financial accounts or replace antivirus software, secure passwords, multi-factor authentication, software updates and other recommended security practices.
