Quick answer: yes, LightXtreme VPN is secure.
Protection comes down to three parts:
1. Strong encryption and secure protocols: Shadowsocks, Vless and WireGuard run under AES-256-GCM inside LightXtreme VPN.
2. Privacy and anonymity: the real IP address is hidden and swapped for a virtual one, while browsing content is never stored.
3. Anti-surveillance and geo-unblocking: LightXtreme VPN keeps your activity private and opens up content that would otherwise be restricted.
1. Check antivirus and firewall settings: security tools occasionally stop VPN connections, so switch them off for a moment and try again.
Check that your real IP is hidden like so:
1. Write down your current IP: before connecting, open a browser and look up your IP address, keeping it as the value to compare against.
