What is a VPN?
A VPN helps you establish a secure network connection using public networks.
A VPN encrypts your internet traffic and hides your online identity.
Using a VPN makes it very difficult for third parties to track your online activities or steal data.
How does that VPN work?
A VPN hides your IP address and redirects your network traffic to a special remote server run by a VPN host.
This means that when you surf online through a VPN, the VPN server becomes the source of your data.
This way, your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and other third parties can’t see what websites you’re visiting or what data you’re sending and receiving online.
Essentially, a VPN acts like a filter, converting all of your data into an unintelligible form.
Even if someone were to gain access to your data, it would be useless to them.
