Almost half of Indonesians resort to VPN for privacy protection

VAST VPN

Jakarta, Indonesia – Data suggests that about 47% of users mainly seek assistance from VPNs to protect privacy when visiting websites anonymously and to prevent their online behaviours from being tracked and monitored by spyware, according to Vast VPN’s market research findings.

Around 37% of users deem that Vast VPN is exceptionally supportive in accelerating their networks while playing video games or watching streaming content. The third-ranked case, accounting for 26%, is to safely view some sites of explicit content or thread between disparate internet exclusion zones with the personal IP address sheltered. The statistics indicate how VPNs appeal to their respective audiences varies widely depending on the user preference.

With the rise of entertainment applications such as Tik-Tok, SnackVideo, Netflix, and the like, using scenarios of VPNs among ordinary users has become more and more extensive and entertaining. In addition to providing a stable and fast anonymous browsing experience, 37% of users make it clear that Vast VPN is also highly effective in helping them optimise their entertainment experience without bandwidth throttling. People can speed up video games significantly and peruse video streaming platforms for intriguing content. 

Enormous opinions and endorsements were collected from players engaged in MLBB (Mobile Legends: Bang Bang) and Free Fire, both games have ultrahigh requirements on a reliable network environment. For video software users, they can flexibly switch IP addresses at any time to break through network restrictions to watch popular videos from other countries.

Since cybersecurity risks and user privacy issues have also observably risen over the mass market and been mooted in people’s daily life, VPN gets to render a tried role in coping with people’s daily surfing security demands. 

According to Data.ai (formerly App Annie), a mobile data and analytics platform, Vast VPN has been firmly staying within the top 15 on the list of free tools in Indonesia since mid-April, ranked ninth at the highest and received an overwhelming response in the regional market. The cumulative downloads of Vast VPN on the Google Play Store have exceeded 40 million times across the board this May. It provides services to more than 10 million users and intensively cultivates the North American, Asian, and European markets.
