VPN

VPN is a technology that creates a virtual dedicated communication path on the internet or other networks. Depending on the type and configuration, it encrypts communications, reduces the risk of eavesdropping on the communication path, and can change the IP address visible to the destination. VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network."

It is used for a wide range of applications, including inter-company connections and remote work, as well as protecting individual privacy and ensuring security when using public Wi-Fi. However, even with VPNs, it cannot prevent all cyberattacks and information leaks. It is essential to combine VPN with other security measures such as antivirus software.
