Abstract

The beginning of the 21st century heralded globalization worldwide and the rapid development of information technologies, namely the Internet, which in turn helped to make a big leap in the development of data transmission and the availability of information among a large number of people.

Today, the Internet represents a global virtual world with a wealth of free information and data. The demand for it is growing every day, which encourages Internet service providers to constantly develop the market.

Today, it is difficult to imagine a world without free access to the Internet. Unfortunately, the governments of some countries at the legislative level limit access to certain resources, which, in turn, increases the demand for the development and use of VPN technologies and services. Some users use VPN for anonymity on the Internet and access to blocked resources. Others use this technology to protect personal information. When choosing a VPN service, some users are guided by the quality of the services that will be provided, while others are guided by their cost. Owners of VPN services constantly improve the quality of their services and introduce new technologies.

The demand for VPN services, after the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion, in Ukraine has grown many times - not only due to the blocking of Ukrainian media resources, but also due to the appearance of the IT army of Ukraine. As a result, some VPN services began to provide Ukrainians with free access to their servers.

VPN has several levels of protection, such as: data encryption, data source authentication, hash verification, which in turn ensures the confidentiality of transmitted data on the Internet. In compatibility, all this helps to increase the level of protection of personal data of users.

Citizens of Ukraine, who remain in the temporarily occupied territories, to a greater extent, have access only to the Russian media space, due to the fact that Ukrainian resources are blocked, and communication operators are "jammed" and their infrastructure is destroyed. With the help of VPN services, they can get access to the Ukrainian media space.
