A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a technology solution that helps secure communication between different networks. It creates a virtual network that connects devices within the same private virtual environment, allowing data to be transmitted more securely. The device’s original IP address is also hidden and replaced with the IP address of the VPN server.
One common use case for VPNs is in large organizations that host their business applications within an internal private network. External access is typically restricted, and employees are provided with VPN accounts so they can securely access the company’s internal systems remotely without being physically present in the office. In addition, other corporate services and applications may be configured to accept connections only through the private VPN network.
