What is VPN

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is the simplest and most effective way for people to protect Internet traffic and hide their online identity. When you connect to a secure VPN server, your Internet traffic passes through an encrypted tunnel, and no one can see it, including hackers, governments and your Internet service provider.

Consumers use virtual private networks to keep their online activity private and ensure access to websites and services, otherwise they may be restricted.

Companies use VPNs to connect far-flung employees as if they were all using the same local network at a central office, but with fewer benefits for individuals than a personal VPN.
