What is VPN?

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network (virtual private network). If you connect to the Internet, then between the user and the Internet itself there is always a third, or even a fourth person. This can be a provider or provider + public Wi-Fi point. At the same time, information from the user to the provider or public access point on the way to the Internet is transmitted in unencrypted form.

When you establish a connection to the VPN server, you connect to any of the selected servers. They can stand anywhere, including abroad. It is the server to which the user is connected, gives him access to the Internet.

All information passes through the provider or any other third-party access point, but in encrypted form over a virtual channel created specifically between the server and your computer. Then the server on behalf of the user begins to surf the Internet.

Thus, a "tunnel" is created between the computer and the server, in which all information is encrypted, and the provider does not understand to which site the user navigates. Hackers will not be able to steal your data even when connected to public Wi-Fi, and the history of visiting sites will be available only to you.
