Windows operating systems from Microsoft have been very popular among PC users for many years. Comfortable user interface is one of its biggest advantages. It will not take much time to setup a VPN-connection for Windows 7, even if you don't possess extensive knowledge in IT-sphere.

After VPN setup on Windows 7 you will be able to visit any websites, use e-mail and Skype absolutely anonymously. Similar to anonymous proxy, VPN hides your IP address and replaces it by the address of our server. Therefore no one will be able to track your computer.

VPN transfers data encrypted. That is why you can safely use public Wi-Fi hotspots in cafes, hotels or airports without any risk for your confidential data security.

After VPN setup you also will be able to use any entertainment websites and social media services at work, even if your employer or ISP has restricted access to such resources.

You can create a VPN-connection to Windows 7 via PPTP, L2TP or OpenVPN protocols. PPTP and L2TP support is implemented in Windows OS core, while OpenVPN connection requires downloading a freeware program from the developers website.

Whatever protocol type you choose, VPN setup on Windows 7 requires only a few mouse clicks. After that you will be able to enjoy all benefits of safe, anonymous web-surfing.
