What is a virtual private network - VPN - and why does it get talked about so much? The term has been popping up in every conversation about the Internet lately. And for good reason. VPN technology was once a high-tech novelty, but today it's an essential tool. Essentially, VPN technology protects your online privacy.
VPN technology works like a cloak of invisibility - masking you and preserving your anonymity. Instead of a light motorcycle that is easy to identify, you get a rental car with tinted windows. You are hidden in encrypted data and safely hidden behind a different IP address.
VPN technology encrypts all of your online activities. Everything you send and receive. If you only log in through a VPN, it's not your authentic connection source that's visible, but one of the many VPN routers.
