traffic and protects your online identity.

Virtual Private Network

A VPN allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the
Internet. VPNs can be used to access region-restricted websites, shield your
browsing activity from prying eyes on public Wi-Fi.
They originally were just a way to connect business networks together securely
over the internet or allow you to access a business network from home.
But nowadays many people use a VPN for by passing geographic restrictions to
view content in a different country.
If you want to access any website in the UK while you are connected to a VPN,
while you are in Iraq, the site will show that the request came from the UK.
