Pointers are a foundational concept in C and C++ that allows developers to manage memory and manipulate objects dynamically. However, traditional pointers come with challenges such as memory leaks, dangling pointers, and complex manual memory management. To address these issues, modern C++ introduces smart pointers, a powerful abstraction that automates memory management and ensures resource safety.

There are additional features to look for like a killswitch and log policies. A killswitch disconnects you from the Internet if you lose connection to your VPN server and until the connection is regained, ensuring you are always protected. No log policies mean that the VPN service does not log any Internet activity: most VPNs say they offer this service, but you should look for those where the policies have been independently verified to ensure total privacy.
