The Virtual Private Network, or VPN as it is commonly referred to is a secure and private network that can be utilized to provide users with a safe browsing experience on public networks.<\/p>\n

 A VPN actually uses an encryption module to encrypt the data being shared on the public network, hence creating a private network which remains largely immune to mainstream malware and hackers. A public network shares all your information which makes you very vulnerable, a VPN can effectively be used to hide your identity as well, as if there was a firewall between you and the rest of the users. VPNs are also used to act as WAN (Wide Area Networks) so they can be used to connect to a company\u2019s intranet while its employees are away from its premises; VPNs also connect different regions of a large complex like universities and factories with each other.<\/p>\n
