Vir­tu­al Private Net­work (VPN)

 

... a virtual private network, or VPN for short, is a virtual network: unlike your home network, for example, the various end devices in a VPN are not directly physically connected to each other or to a central router - for example, via network cables or a WLAN connection.

 

Use a VPN connection on public networks to encrypt your communications.

Access sensitive data on remote networks via a VPN.

Protect yourself from tracking on the Internet.
