No, you cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network in Nairobi (or any distant location) using a VPN—whether free or paid. Here's why:
📌 What a VPN Actually Does:
A VPN (Virtual Private Network):
Hides your IP address.
Changes your virtual location.
Encrypts your internet traffic.
> It does not give you access to Wi-Fi networks in other cities like Nairobi.
---
✅ What You Can Do with a VPN:
Access websites or apps that are restricted in your current location (e.g., use TikTok Shop from the US while in Kenya).
Appear to be in a different country or region.
---
❌ What You Cannot Do with a VPN:
Connect to physical Wi-Fi signals or networks far away (e.g., Nairobi's Wi-Fi while you're in Mombasa).
Get internet access if you're not already connected to the internet somehow (mobile data or local Wi-Fi).
---
🔑 Summary:
> A VPN is for online privacy and changing your virtual location, not for connecting to long-distance Wi-Fi.
If you're trying to access Nairobi-only internet content, a Nairobi-based VPN server may help with location access, but you still need your own internet connection (Wi-Fi or mobile data).
