VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a secure way to connect to the Internet. Using a VPN, your traffic is encrypted, making it more secure than a typical connection. This protects you from hackers and other malicious users on the Internet.

A VPN is not a tool for evading security, but it is a tool for hiding your identity and location. If you are trying to access content that is not available in your country, your local Internet Service Provider (ISP) may be able to see what websites you visit. This may cause you to be targeted by law enforcement agencies if they suspect you of being a threat to their operations.
