singapore, Singapore, October 28, 2015 (Newswire.com) - Planning a trip this New Year? Millions of people book their tickets online every day and online booking websites know that most travelers like to browse around a few times before they make a booking. That is why they use IP tracking to monitor and cash off user activity through price modulation.
Algorithms are used to identify potential user preferences through data-mining and prices for frequently favored travel options are hiked up (and often packaged in discount campaigns). VPNRanks is changing the e-booking industry through research confirming that using a VPN provides coverage from the IP tracking and price manipulation tactics implemented by online booking services.
VPNRanks is an InfoSec review website that has reviewed hundreds of VPN services, and is trusted by online privacy activists, streaming lovers and gaming fans around the world. VPNRanks actively covers the latest news and developments that impact online privacy and internet freedom.
VPN is used for data security and IP cloaking, which helps streaming fans, gaming enthusiasts and privacy advocates remain safe, free and anonymous online. However, recent trends in online booking behavior have unearthed a secondary application of VPN. A careful evaluation has led to the short-listing of veteran VPN providers that can help travelers save.
Activating VPN allows users to check-mate online booking websites’ IP tracking tech. VPNRanks has confirmed, through extensive testing, that connecting to an external VPN server before booking online renders the tracking algorithm ineffective.
Commenting on the recent increase in popularity of VPN among travelers, Danish Pervez, veteran blogger and InfoSec expert at VPNRanks, stated that “Each user us an IP address; and each IP address, combined with cookie tracking, is logged as an individual user. VPN services provide access to hundreds of VPN server locations, which translate in to thousands of shared IP addresses – making it impossible for an online booking website to zero in on an individual user”.
While there are numerous opinions on the legitimacy of this technique, VPNRanks has found that the technique is effective if executed with the following precautions:
- Clear your browser cookies and cache before activating VPN
- Ensure activation of international usage on your credit card
- Sign out of all active website accounts
- Create a new account on your chosen online booking website
- Remember, Google’s InCognito feature is NOT the same as using a VPN
It is imperative to understand that selective price modulation is made possible through the same IP tracking technology that has been helping websites identify returning visitors for years. It is the driving force behind targeted ads and email marketing campaigns. However, price manipulation is frowned upon by governments, which is why online booking websites choose to remain silent when VPN users bypass the effects of unfair commercial practices.
The screenshots evidence the difference in prices that is possible through VPN. The price falls from $945 to $548, signifying that price modulation was at work, and that it can be circumvented by VPN.
