virtual private network (vpn)
A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure and encrypted connection established over the internet, allowing users to access and share data as if they were directly connected to a private network. It provides privacy, anonymity, and security by masking the user's IP address and encrypting their online activities, making it difficult for anyone to intercept or track their data.
