<p>Many (<strong>but note: not all!</strong>) circumvention tools have features that add a layer of security to your browsing and communication, protecting it from being accessed along the way. (Later in this course we will cover some guidelines for choosing a circumvention tool that’s safe and secure.)</p>
<p><br />More security means more privacy - like closing the curtains at home so that people on the outside can’t see in.</p>

<p>It is always a good idea to use a secure circumvention tool, wherever you are. In reality, however, using a circumvention tool does cost you more data, and might not always be convenient. In public places and when sending or receiving sensitive information, you should make your security a priority!</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img src="/assets/courseware/v1/e3d6981e64615ad58e95934c9a2555cf/asset-v1:Totem+TP_CT_EN+001+type@asset+block/VPN-why-when-where.png" alt="VPN-why-when-where" type="saveimage" target="[object Object]" width="50%" /></p>
<h2>Cafes, hotels, airports</h2>
<p>These kinds of public connections are not very secure (in other words, it’s easier for middle parties to see what you are sending and receiving). A circumvention tool can add <strong>a layer of protection</strong> to activities like online banking, sending emails, or browsing sensitive information.</p>
<h2>Companies, schools, organisations, etc</h2>
<p>In the same way that a circumvention tool can be used to create a secure connection for you from a cafe or open wifi network, circumvention tools can be also used to <strong>create a safe and secure working environment</strong> for the employees or members of an organisation. Many employers in fact require employees to use a circumvention tool to access company services remotely.</p>
