A Virtual Private Network – also known as a VPN – is a group of computers linked together over the internet. This basically allows someone who’s connected to the internet, from anywhere in the world, to access a network that’s otherwise restricted and not accessible to everyone with a simple internet connection.
While the connection between them makes it seem like they all share the same LAN (Local Area Network) – for instance, home or business network – they’re actually using the public internet to talk to each other in a secure and encrypted manner.
