See How To Still Use Twitter via VPN Despite FG #Twitterban in Nigeria

THECONSCIENCEng reports that following the indefinite suspension of Twitter by the Nigerian government, the question on people’s mind is how to bypass these restrictions and still access Twitter in case of a major internet shutdown in the future.

This reliable platform gathered that VPNs have been used to access the internet in similar situations in other countries in the past.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet by hiding your traffic from being seen by others. It basically connects your PC, smartphone, or tablet to another server and allows you to browse the internet. It is handy with the Twitter ban in Nigeria.

So, if that server is in a different country, it will appear as if you are browsing from that country, and you can potentially access things that you couldn’t normally.

VPN can be used to:

Bypass geographic restrictions on websites, audio or video streaming.

Bypass government restrictions on certain apps.

Protect yourself from untrustworthy Wi-Fi hotspots.

Hide your true location.

In the event of an internet shutdown, whether partial or full, like the Twitter ban in Nigeria, these VPNs will help you route your location to a different one where you can still access the internet. Most of them are free while some require a subscription fee.
