What is VPN and how does it work

Product: Quick start By: Richie Brody Created: (24,12,2021 at 17:19 PM)

Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides a secure connection for devices that access the Internet. After the connection is protected, your information will be kept confidential.

At this time, you may want to ask how does a VPN protect you? How does VPN work?

VPN is like an intermediary between your Internet Service Provider (ISP) and the Internet. When using VPN routing connection, you can access the Internet through the dedicated server of the VPN provider.

One of the main advantages of VPN is to encrypt data before transmission. Using a VPN can also hide your IP address, so you can protect your identity online.

Encryption basics

The password hides the information in an encoded manner, so it can only be read with the key. Without the encryption key, your data looks meaningless.

When accessing the Internet through VPN, only your computer and VPN can decrypt your encrypted data, that is, decryption.

For example, if you enter credit card information online, the data will be encrypted until it reaches the seller or service provider. Your data is encrypted and safe.

For each VPN provider, the process is slightly different, but every time you connect to the VPN, two things happen:

Your data is transmitted through an encrypted secure tunnel, and cannot be read when it is transmitted between your device and the VPN server.

The IP address of your device matches the IP address of the VPN server, so you can block your real IP address to protect your identity.
