{tableName=glossary, name=Virtual Private Network (VPN), description= A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a secure connection between two or more computers, devices, or networks over the internet. It uses encryption technology to protect data and ensure privacy. A VPN creates a tunnel between two computers, allowing them to communicate without being exposed to the public internet. This tunnel is encrypted, so any data sent through it is secure and can’t be intercepted. This makes it ideal for businesses and individuals who need to securely access private networks or send sensitive data over the internet. Additionally, a VPN can be used to bypass geo-restrictions and access content from other countries. It can also be used to prevent ISPs and governments from tracking your online activity., topic=null, hs_path=virtual-private-network-vpn}--
