Technology & Digital Life - Cybersecurity - Virtual private network
What does the abbreviation “VPN” stand for?
Correct!
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN creates a protected connection between a device and a VPN server. Traffic can be encrypted, and the device’s public IP address can appear to visited services as the VPN server’s address. A proxy can also forward traffic, but it does not automatically provide the same encryption as a VPN.
