VPNs
Encrypted connection services
VPNs are virtual private networks—encrypted connections that route internet traffic through remote servers, masking a user's location and identity.
People use VPNs to access region-locked content, bypass censorship, or protect data on public wifi: I use a VPN to watch shows that aren't available in my country.
Businesses use them to let employees securely access internal networks remotely.
