Virtual Private Network (VPN) establishes a secure connection between your device and a remote location. It generates a tunnel from the device to the VPN service. All the online traffic goes through this tunnel to the VPN server, and then to the internet service that it’s connecting to it.

All your traffic is encrypted and your IP address is hidden, so only your service provider can know what you are doing.
