Following the indefinite suspension of Twitter by the
Nigerian government, the question on people’s mind is how to bypass these
restrictions and still access Twitter in case of a major internet shutdown in the
future.
VPNs have been used to access the internet in similar
situations in other countries in the past.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to create a
secure connection to another network over the Internet by hiding your traffic
from being seen by others. It basically connects your PC, smartphone, or
tablet to another server and allows you to browse the internet.
So, if that server is in a different country, it will appear as if you are browsing from that country, and you can potentially access things that you couldn’t normally.
VPN can be used to:
- Bypass
geographic restrictions on websites, audio or video streaming.
- Bypass
government restrictions on certain apps.
- Protect
yourself from untrustworthy Wi-Fi hotspots.
- Hide
your true location.
In the event of an internet shutdown, whether partial or
full, these VPNs will help you route your location to a different one where you
can still access the internet. Most of them are free while some require a
subscription fee
