Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a tool that allows the user to utilize a private network which is built over a public infrastructure (e.g. the internet). It enables the creation of a secure connection to another network over the Internet. This essentially masks the user's location and enables the user to browse the internet anonymously.
