A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that enhances online privacy and security by encrypting internet traffic and routing it through a secure server. This process masks the user's IP address, making it appear as though they are accessing the internet from a different location. VPNs are commonly used for: Privacy Protection: Encrypting online activity to prevent tracking by third parties, including Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and hackers. For example, a journalist working in a country with internet censorship uses a VPN to browse securely and protect their sources. Bypassing Geo-Restrictions: Accessing content that may be blocked or restricted based on the user's location. For example, an Australian user wants to watch U.S. Netflix content and uses a VPN to appear as if they are in the U.S. Securing Public Wi-Fi: Protecting data from potential cyber threats when using unsecured public networks. For example, a remote worker connects to a coffee shop Wi-Fi and uses a VPN to protect sensitive company data from potential cyber threats. Business Use: Enabling employees to securely access corporate networks from remote locations. For example, financial institution mandates VPN usage to protect sensitive client data from unauthorised access.
