What is a VPN?

A VPN, or virtual private network, is an essential tool for protecting online privacy by creating a secure network connection over a public network such as the internet. A VPN works by encrypting data sent and received between your device and the VPN server, allowing users to access the internet anonymously by masking their real IP address. With a VPN, users can access content that is geo-restricted, avoid ISP logging and tracking, and secure their personal information against cyber attacks. VPNs are commonly used by businesses to secure their private network and facilitate communication between remote employees.
