NordVPN boss Rusin-Rohrig: German VPN grouches are surfing anonymously more and more often

A VPN client not only helps when streaming football matches abroad. It also provides anonymity and helps protect against Internet attacks. In the ntv podcast "So techt Deutschland" NordVPN boss Rusin-Rohrig explains what other advantages VPNs have.

Joanna Rusin-Rohrig wants to use NordVPN to ensure that Germans are safer and more independent on the Internet. Because if you are traveling abroad and trying to stream a football game online, for example, you often have a problem. Because in Spain, Portugal and Co., the streams usually do not work for legal reasons. One solution: VPN. With Virtual Private Networks, Internet users can browse the web anonymously and pretend to be somewhere else.

In Indonesia, 61 percent of people use VPN, in India it is 45 percent. Only 23 percent of German Internet users surf via VPN, as figures from the GWI agency show. But the trend is upwards. NordVPN also notices this as a provider. "What has happened in recent years is a bit of an increase in awareness of the online area. So, people are also increasingly seeing what can happen online," says Joanna Rusin-Rohrig, NordVPN's Germany boss. Because VPN helps to protect yourself from attacks on the Internet.

In the new episode of "So techt Deutschland" she explains why and what other advantages VPNs have.
