A VPN is a tool to help protect you online. Adding it to the taskbar on your Windows 11 is highly convenient.

It creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and the VPN server. This in turn helps in hiding your IP address, location, and activity from the prying eyes of hackers. It, therefore, makes sense to have it on the taskbar for ease in accessibility.

If you’re going to be using it often, it can be useful to add it to your taskbar. That way you can connect with just one click.

When you’re using your computer and you want to access something quickly. It’s way easier to have it in the taskbar than having to go through a series of steps.

Another reason is that the taskbar is much less intrusive than other parts of your screen. If you’re working on a project and you need to access something quickly, having the VPN in the taskbar will allow you to keep working on your project without being interrupted.
