What is VPN and how do I use it?

Published:

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network... VPN allows you to connect to the desired server not from your Internet location (IP / country), but on the other - usually, the location can be selected manually or set automatically by your VPN provider.

When you visit a website, for example, through a browser, the website owner can see where you are from. Sometimes, based on the user's location, the website owner is forced to restrict certain content for him. This can be circumvented by using a VPN, which makes it appear as if the user is accessing the website from a different location (country).

What is VPN and how do I use it?

As shown in the image above, you can physically be in one location, but using a VPN it will appear that you are accessing the website from a different location. It's worth mentioning that VPN providers use encrypted connection.

VPN providers simply let you connect to their network and use it. When you visit a website, the data from the website is first sent to your VPN provider and only then sent to you. This way you can hide your IP address from the website.
