A VPN is an acronym for Virtual Private Network and it's a secured, encrypted and private web-based service used for accessing region-restricted and censored internet content. A VPN protects web data from potential hackers and government surveillance by hiding the real IP address of the host and encrypting user's internet traffic.
Basically, the VPN is a computer software that enables internet users to create a secured connection (sends and receives data) over public or shared networks like they're directly connected to the private network.
The potential benefits of a VPN service are;
- It increases privacy level by guarding the real IP address on the Internet.
- It protects user data exchange on a public Wi-Fi network by encryption.
- It can be used to securely connect to a corporate or personal network from far away through the Internet and access local resources.
