What is VPNs?

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) extends a private network across a public network, like the internet, and enables users to send and receive data as if their devices were directly connected to the private network. This is done by creating a secure, encrypted connection over the internet. VPNs are commonly used to protect online activity from surveillance, access geo-restricted content, and securely connect to private networks remotely.
