Why Do I Need a VPN in Canada?
Intrusive Data Retention
The retention of citizen metadata by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) is only permissible if it is necessary to counter terrorism. Unfortunately, not everyone plays by the rules. According to a federal court ruling, the CSIS ran a secret government data retention program for an entire decade. The metadata retained belonged to not only suspects, but also those not suspected of any wrongdoing. Although the program is supposedly over, the CSIS betrayed citizen trust, making it difficult to believe that surveillance will not continue to cross the line in the future.
Invasive Advertising Programs
The CSIS isn’t the only offender of overly-invasive data practices. In 2013, Bell came under fire for their advertising program. The telco created advertising profiles using customer browsing histories and app usage statistics. Then, they shared the profiles with third parties. Controversially, the program was opt-out-only, meaning users had to explicitly ask to be excluded from data collection. Now these marketing practices are opt-in, but it doesn’t mean providers won’t stray in the future.
Extensive Spying Powers
When Canada passed the Anti-Terrorism Act in January 2015, government officials argued the law was necessary to protect national security. Unfortunately, the legislation was enacted with few checks and balances. Without proper accountability and oversight, critics argue that spying powers could be easily abused. They worry specific groups, such as protestors and activists, will become targets, even if they are not suspected of wrongdoing.
Canceled Privacy Protections
Canadian privacy isn’t just impacted by actions at home. As its name suggests, the World Wide Web connects the globe. Unfortunately, Canadian citizens are no longer afforded privacy assurances in the United States. In January 2017, an executive order excluded Canadians and other foreign citizens from Privacy Act protections. Such protections were granted to Canadians in 2007, but after only a decade, their privacy is now at risk. Since Canadian web traffic frequently crosses into U.S. territory, users in Canada will not always know how vulnerable their data is.
Luckily, StrongVPN alleviates these issues altogether. Our virtual private network defends your data, protects you from prying eyes, and secures your internet connection.
When Do I Use StrongVPN?
As you connect to StrongVPN, it creates a secure tunnel between your device and a private server. This encrypts your internet traffic and scrambles your web data, preventing onlookers from accessing your information. The process also swaps your IP address with an IP from the VPN server you select. StrongVPN connections have many practical uses. These are some of the most popular:
Wi-Fi Security
Wi-Fi hotspots are incredibly convenient, but they’re incredibly risky, too. Open Wi-Fi networks are accessible to anyone and everyone close enough to connect to them. That makes these networks a popular hangout for hackers, snoopers, and cybercriminals.
With just a bit of technical know-how, other users can view all of the individual traffic that passes over a hotspot. This leaves your logins, passwords, and sensitive personal information vulnerable to exploitation. StrongVPN protects you in these situations by obscuring your traffic with encryption.
IP Protection
An IP address is a unique string of numbers assigned to you by your ISP. IPs can be used to identify you, and they’re tracked and traced all over the web, often maliciously. But when you use StrongVPN, we’ll hide your IP address altogether.
Once you connect to one of our servers, your IP is replaced with that server’s IP. And unlike the IP addresses provided by ISPs or public networks, StrongVPN IPs are shared amongst users, that way no single IP address can be associated with an individual user.
Online Freedom
The World Wide Web used to be borderless. But over time, ISPs, governments, and workplaces built barriers to limit the ways we connect online. The end result is what we have today: widespread content regulations, leading to inconsistent web experiences all over the globe.
Now, the internet you use depends on where you reside. This limits the exchange of information and violates online freedom. By protecting your IP address with StrongVPN, however, you can reclaim access to the World Wide Web and overcome unjust limitations.
