{Disarmed} VPN on your Xiaomi mobile or tablet: what it is, what it is for and how to configure it

Over the last few years, many or most of us have heard of what are known as VPN networks , but do we really know for sure what they are and in which cases it is interesting to choose to use one of them?

For this reason, in this post we are going to explain in detail what these types of connections are and, above all, what they are for and what advantages we are going to obtain if we decide to use them in our day-to-day life or at specific times, as well as, of course, showing you how you can activate them on your Xiaomi device.

What is a VPN network

Something important that we must start with when explaining what these types of connections consist of is detailing what these acronyms VPN mean, which correspond to the name Virtual Private Network, that is, a virtual private network.

Usually, when we connect our smartphone or other device to our home internet connection, they will have a specific local IP assigned automatically, which will allow us to carry out everyday actions such as sharing files with each other without the need for They go through the Internet.

And this is precisely the point where this type of network will come into action, since the VPN network allows us to create a local network without the need for these devices to be physically connected to each other, thus obtaining the clear advantage of being able to connect our devices to a network that is practically anywhere in the world.

In this case, our team will continue to communicate with the Internet provider that we usually use but, immediately afterwards, instead of connecting to the web services, it will do so directly with the VPN server that we have previously configured for it with a fully encrypted connection and safe.

What is a VPN network for?

Once explained what these types of networks consist of, it is also very interesting that we take a look at the cases in which using this technology can benefit us, that is, what are VPN networks for?

Well, we are going to give you two of the most common examples for which we usually use this type of network, such as accessing content that is censored or blocked in certain regions or even being able to work remotely from another country with an extra layer of security on our computers.

The first of these cases is undoubtedly one of the most used in recent years given the increased popularity of streaming services such as Netflix , HBO , etc.

These types of services usually have content blocked in a certain geographical area for license reasons or other reasons, but we can avoid this in a very simple way by making our network believe that we are in another part of the world, with which we will be able to access to that content without too much trouble and enjoy it regardless of our location.

And something quite similar happens in the workplace when it comes to being able to access a single private network located in another country. Thanks to the VPN network, the connection will predictably be encrypted and the worker will have exactly the same access to that network as any other user who is physically there.

How to set up a VPN network on your Xiaomi phone

Well, we already know what a VPN network is and what its main uses and advantages are, so it is time to explain how you can easily configure it on your Xiaomi device.

To do this, the mechanism is very simple, since you only have to follow these steps:

• Access the settings of your Xiaomi phone and click on the "Connection and sharing" section
• Once inside, in the "VPN" section we can add a VPN from the option located on the bottom edge called "Add VPN"

When configuring this VPN network we will have to fill in the following data:

• Name
• VPN type
• Server address
• Username
• Password

In this case, the address, the type of VPN, username and password, we will have to configure previously based on the account that we have created in the VPN service that we have contracted, an essential element for this tool to work without problem.
