Too Long; Didn't Read

The goal of a VPN is to protect your data when communicating over the internet but also providing you with extra privacy. The idea is that all the traffic you send is encrypted and encapsulated inside this private tunnel. The most important factor is the location of the server you want to use for setting up your secure tunnel. If you pick a server that is located in India but you are browsing from Europe, this can provide some lag on the connection. When you use a VPN, your internet traffic will be routed through the selected server. A VPN kill switch makes sure that whenever the VPN drops the connection, your real IP is not leaked.
