Hungary has had some troubling developments when it comes to data retention and libel laws. Outside of the country, many companies are trying to get rich by using your data without your permission. A VPN can help you hide from these threats.
Yes, using a VPN in Hungary is legal. However, it’s still illegal to do anything that’s against the law even if you’re using a VPN.
Surfshark does not encourage using a VPN in any way that would potentially violate the law or Terms of Service of other service providers.
You cannot be tracked if you use Surfshark.
However, if you use another VPN, then it depends on the VPN provider. Many free VPN companies profit from selling user metadata. Surfshark operates under a strict no-log policy. Unlike some other VPNs, we keep no data on what our users do on the internet.
Why is this important? In 2016, Hungary introduced new regulations for encryption and retention of metadata. This means that ISPs keep records of what you do online. Online communication companies that don’t use end-to-end encryption may be required to monitor the content of messages as well.
One way to overcome them is to use a VPN. That way, an ISP won’t be able to tell what you do online. A VPN can fool the intrusive and resource-intensive Deep Packet Inspection techniques. Advanced VPNs like Surfshark can even mask VPN use.
There are two main uses for using a VPN outside of your country. One is accessing all the content you love in Hungary. For example, if a website is blocked for some reason (like Facebook in China), a VPN will allow you to reach it no matter where you are in the world.
The second but no less critical use is protecting your data. As a traveler, you can fall victim to a multitude of traps set to you by criminals. Using public Wi-Fi is probably the number one dangerous thing you’ll do as a tourist. Encrypt your data with a VPN and foil hackers that are stalking hotspots for information to steal.
VPNs usually limit the number of devices you can use with a single account. Surfshark doesn’t. Get a Hungarian VPN and secure all the devices you want with a single account. Going on a trip? Install it on the phones and tablets that your family is bringing. Staying at home? Make sure to secure your smart TVs and consoles.
Your IP is the closest thing you have to a home address online. ISPs and websites you visit can record it, which makes you visible online. It doesn’t always point to your exact apartment, but it’s close. With a VPN, you’ll have a different IP and become untraceable.
