Virtual Private Network (VPN)


VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN provides privacy, anonymity and security to users by creating a private network connection across a public network connection. VPN is a encrypted connection between two networks or between an individual user and a network.

VPN issues temporary IP address and hides real IP address that helps users to stay anonymous and get access to blocked sites.
