VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. It is a secure and private network connection that allows users to access the internet or another network remotely while keeping their online activities anonymous and encrypted.
A VPN works by creating a secure tunnel between a user’s device and the server of the VPN provider, which encrypts all data traffic passing through it. This ensures that the user’s IP address and online activities are hidden from anyone who might be monitoring their internet connection, such as hackers, governments, or ISPs.
VPNs are commonly used by businesses and individuals who need to access corporate networks or sensitive information over public Wi-Fi networks. They can also be used to bypass internet censorship or geographic restrictions on content, allowing users to access websites and services that may be blocked in their country.
