A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a service that allows you to use the internet with added security and privacy by connecting to distant servers and encrypting your data. It's used to securely access and navigate the internet without being tracked or monitored. You can use a VPN to keep your traffic protected while you are browsing the internet, hide your IP address, or accessing geo-restricted content. To use a VPN, you need to install or access their dedicated software and configure the settings to your preferences.
