A VPN is software that helps you stay safe online by encrypting your internet traffic and making your laptop or mobile device appear to be in another place. In case you you don't know, VPN stands for virtual private network.

However, since the best VPNs often allow you to change your IP address to that of a different city or region, these services have become much more common. VPNs are ideal for streamers who wish to browse a vast library of shows and films on Netflix, HBO Amazon Prime Video, PBS and other platforms. If your favorite app is blocked when you're on abroad a VPN will allow you to access the internet as you've become accustomed. And that's just the beginning.

A VPN program would be all about anonymity for certain people. You may want to use them to hide your online activities from prying eyes, particularly now that so many of us work or go to school from home. Perhaps you don't want to be seen by the government's eyes.
