The article details what a VPN is, how to choose a successful offer, what format converts more, what target audience to target, as well as a fresh case with real numbers.

01
What is VPN and how does it work
VPN (Virtual Private Network) — it is a secure, encrypted connection of the user to the network, with which he can bypass local restrictions and maintain confidentiality.
VPN protects data from those who are trying to find out what you are doing on the Internet - and will be useful to anyone who worries about the safety and privacy of their information.
In simple words, a VPN connects your computer or phone through an encrypted virtual tunnel to a remote server through which you access the Internet. This server can be located anywhere. Your ISP (Internet service provider) may know that you are using a VPN, but not what you are using it for. For the authorities and the websites you visit, you become a foreign user.

VPN in everyday life?
The average user who receives your notification may have a quite natural question: Do I need a VPN in my everyday life? The answer is yes.

VPN gives:
  • Protection./Security. The transmitted information is available only if the encryption key is available; A VPN protects data from a provider that may share website history with advertisers and other third parties, as well as from cyber attacks and identity theft.
  • Geolocation masking.  Geolocation data does not come from the device, but from the VPN server. It may be located in another country, and it becomes impossible to determine the location. In addition, the service may not even keep a log of user actions. Accordingly, no one will get access to the history of his actions, because it simply does not exist;
  • Access to regional content. When traveling abroad, you may lose the opportunity to watch content intended for your “home” region. A secure connection "spoofs" your location with the location of an intermediate server located in another country;
  • Secure data transmission. When working remotely, you may need to access sensitive corporate data. To reduce the likelihood of a leak, they use an encrypted data connection.

How to choose a VPN offer
When choosing, please note that from the point of view of a client who decided to download a VPN, it is important: price, user reviews, subscription period, ease of use and installation, and availability of support. 
Regardless of the vertical, choosing a good offer is a significant part of a successful campaign.
The most profitable will be offers with payment for the purchase of a CPE trial period (cost-per-engage), because the conversion price in this case is much higher than the CPI (cost-per-install) model.   VPN free trial offers are also a great option, especially for a novice affiliate marketer, as it is much easier for a user to agree to a trial without entering credit card details and paying for the app. The simpler the flow, the faster you can optimize your campaign.

VPN offers perfect conversion with time-tested Push notifications, as well as Popunders.
