If learning more about jailbreaking interests you, especially the methodology involved in achieving one, then we’ve got some good news for you.
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) adds a middleman between you and the end server in an internet connection, acting as a relay that helps enhance your privacy.

But maybe we'll have to keep waiting.
