TikTok might be getting banned in the United States, and VPN’s could be the access solution. But what the heck is a VPN anyway? How do they work? What are they used for outside of side stepping TikTok bans? Are they the silver bullet to cyber security? The answer may surprise you.

Tune in to this week’s episode as we unpack these questions and help you understand the tip of the iceberg when it comes to VPNs and your security.

Though free VPN options seem like a good idea, GTC doesn't endorse their use (there are sometimes hidden nasties you want to avoid). Always do your own, thorough research when finding a VPN which is right for you, and lean-in to paid services over free options.
