A VPN creates a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the internet.
It acts like a private tunnel through a public network (like the internet), protecting your data from prying eyes.
Why people use VPNs:
Privacy: Hides your IP address and internet activity from ISPs, hackers, or governments.
- Security: Encrypts your data, especially useful on public Wi-Fi.
- Access: Lets you reach region-restricted websites or services by appearing to be in another location.
- Remote work: Businesses use VPNs to let employees securely access internal systems from anywhere.
Example:
You're at a café using public Wi-Fi. A VPN encrypts your connection, so even if someone is snooping on that network, they can’t see what you’re doing or steal your data.
Let me know if you want a simple visual or metaphor to explain it, or if you're looking at VPNs for personal use vs. business setup.
