VPN server
Secure connection relay box
A VPN server is a computer that accepts encrypted connections from remote users, allowing them to access a private network or route their internet traffic through a different location.
Organizations use VPN servers so employees can securely reach internal resources from home.
Individuals connect to VPN servers to mask their location or bypass geographic restrictions: I connected to a VPN server in London to watch British TV.
