Overview
Obscura VPN provides a privacy-focused online browsing tool that prevents your activity from being logged and helps you bypass internet censorship. It works by routing your internet traffic through encrypted tunnels to remote servers, so outsiders cannot see what you do online and your IP address is hidden. The service uses VPN protocols to establish secure connections and aims to hide your traffic from ISPs, advertisers, and the sites you visit. Unlike some competitors that may keep logs, Obscura VPN emphasizes a no-logs approach and tools to evade blocking or filtering that attempt to restrict access to websites or services. Its goal is to give users a private, open internet where you can freely access information without surveillance or censorship.
