Mumbai: A virtual private network (VPN) is a tool which is used to disguise your location, protect your identity while browsing online, and grant you access to the entire internet. A VPN is a short form for ‘virtual private network’ which likely works on encrypting the internet which connects the smart devices with a remote server. These networks help in creating a private tunnel from which the search traffic passes.
It usually uses military-grade AES-256 encryption, and VPNs ensure that the online activities of the user remain hidden from prying eyes, unlike when we use the Incognito mode.

VPN services like NordVPN, ExpressVPN and Surfshark are some of the important tools which work on providing remote servers, masking the real IP address and location of the user. Instead of being tracked by your ISP (Internet service provider), connecting to a VPN server offers its IP address which will enable you to effectively trick the websites and further, online services into thinking that you are located in any country.
VPNs also work on bypassing ISP throttling, which is a method majorly used by internet providers to limit bandwidth. VPNs will offer incognito while browsing on public Wi-Fi, encrypting online activity and bypassing region-restricted websites.
