What is a VPN?

A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, helps protect your online privacy and security. It creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and the internet.

Imagine putting a letter inside a sealed envelope that hides its contents and makes it look like it traveled from a different place. A VPN does the same for your data.

When you use a VPN, your traffic is encrypted and routed through the VPN server, which also masks your real IP address and assigns you a temporary one. That makes it harder for others to track your activities and location.

In short, a VPN keeps your connection private and secure by encrypting your data and showing the internet a different address.
