What is a VPN?

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, creates a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the internet. It masks your IP address, providing anonymity and protecting your online activities from prying eyes. Whether you’re looking to bypass geo-restrictions, enhance your online privacy, or avoid DDoS attacks, a VPN is your best friend.

Benefits of Using VPN on PS4

Using a VPN on your PS4 comes with a host of benefits:

• Increased Security and Anonymity: Protect your IP address and personal information.
• Access Geo-Restricted Content: Unlock games and services not available in your region.
• Prevent DDoS Attacks: Shield yourself from malicious attacks aimed at disrupting your gaming experience.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Connect Your Phone to Wi-Fi

Ensure your phone is connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your PS4. This is crucial for the VPN connection to work seamlessly.

2. Install ForestVPN

Download and install the ForestVPN app from the App Store or Google Play. Once installed, open the app and sign in to your account.

3. Enable Hotspot on Your Phone

Turn on the mobile hotspot feature on your phone. This will allow your PS4 to connect to the internet through your phone’s VPN connection.

4. Connect PS4 to Your Phone’s Hotspot

Open the ForestVPN app on your phone and connect to your desired server. Once connected, your PS4 will automatically route its internet traffic through the VPN.

Tips for Optimizing Your VPN Connection
