A VPN (Virtual Private Network) encrypts all your traffic and hides your IP address. As a result, all data coming out of your device is hidden under code and can’t be read by any third parties trying to snoop on your data.
Some oppressive governments have restricted or even banned social media use, including LinkedIn. Thankfully, you can connect to a VPN server outside of such countries and access the internet without oppressive restrictions.
Public Wi-Fi hotspots can be a blessing and a curse. They’re great for keeping you connected on the go but can pose quite a few risks as well. A VPN encrypts all your traffic, so you can enjoy the benefits of public Wi-Fi while being protected from the risks.
Don’t let anyone restrict your online freedom
Choose a Surfshark subscription that suits your needs and create your account.
Download the VPN app on your devices so that you never go online without VPN protection.
Connect to one of Surfshark’s 4,500+ servers, and you’re set for LinkedIn with the safety and privacy of a VPN.
In some cases, LinkedIn may be blocked on your network. This is commonly done with most social media platforms on school or workplace networks. The same has been done on a larger scale as well, with some authoritarian governments banning LinkedIn country-wide.
Typically, you will be able to overcome such blocks by connecting to a VPN. It hides your online activity, including the fact that you’re trying to access LinkedIn, so the network doesn’t see a reason to block your access to the platform.
Surfshark uses AES-256 and ChaCha20 encryption protocols, both of which meet the highest security standards and have no known vulnerabilities.
You can connect to Surfshark by using either OpenVPN, IKEv2, or Wireguard. All of them are modern VPN protocols capable of maintaining a fast and secure VPN connection.
We don’t track or keep any information about what you do online. And these aren’t empty words either, as our no-logs VPN policy has been verified by Deloitte, a Big Four auditing firm.
An uncrowded server not too far away from you is the key to a fast VPN connection. Surfshark has 4,500+ servers in 100 countries worldwide, which means that you’ll almost always be able to find an uncrowded server nearby.
Some countries with oppressive internet restrictions may ban VPN use on top of banning social media. Surfshark’s obfuscated servers hide the fact that you’re using a VPN, so you can use LinkedIn worry-free.
Kill Switch is a security feature that prevents data leaks in case something goes wrong with your VPN connection. As soon as there’s an issue, it shuts down your internet connection as well, so no data reaches the internet unprotected.
Since Surfshark offers unlimited simultaneous connections, there’s no reason to ever go online without protecting your privacy first. Download Surfshark on your smartphone, computer, tablet, and SmartTV, or set up the VPN on your router to protect your entire network.
You should not use a free VPN for LinkedIn if you care about your privacy. In fact, using a free VPN can sometimes be worse than not using a VPN at all. Over 25 million user records were exposed by free VPNs in 2022. And if you don’t want your data to be added to that list, you’re better off choosing a premium VPN provider instead.
