VPN (Virtual Private Network)
Technology for Secure and Private Internet Connectivity
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that creates a secure and encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the internet. VPNs are used to secure data transmissions, ensure privacy, and bypass internet restrictions. They work by routing the user's internet connection through the VPN's private server rather than the user's internet service provider (ISP), thus hiding data and masking the user's identity and location.
