What is a VPN

In answer to the question, “What is a VPN?”, VPN stands for a ‘virtual private network’ which will allow you to use a public network, such as the Internet, but with the security of a private network.

A VPN uses a combination of encryption and full and split-tunneling to hide your data from public view, making it much more secure.

VPN Services provide a valuable way of keeping personal or confidential data secure from unauthorized access through security protocols that encrypt and encapsulate the data allowing your data to be sent securely over a private network, encoded and hidden.
