You've probably come across a VPN before if you're serious about online privacy. Despite the growing popularity, not all users know how this technology works. Let's figure out together what a VPN is and how it works.
A VPN is easiest to think of as a secure tunnel between two locations on the network. Similar to a mountain tunnel - no one outside can see what is happening inside, and no one can see what is happening in your private VPN tunnel.

On a technical level, a VPN is a connection method that provides many additional security benefits, especially for users who use public hotspots such as a hotel or airport.
