Re: what is VPN?
Vpn is anacronym for Virtual Private Network.
A virtual private network is a connection layer peering one computer with another.
It may be useful if you are doing work from home by accessing your employer's internal network.
Most vpn connections are encrypted, in order to frustrate third party interception of the contents going through the connection.
When I am travelling I must sometimes use public wifi, but this may cause its own set of security concerns because the wifi provider may intercept wwhat I am doing.
A VPN connection if properly implemented makes this interception consicderably more difficult.
A lot of internet users also use VPN to preserve their anonymity, do p2p file sharing without getting
into trouble or to unblock geo-restricted services like BBC Iplayer, Hulyu, Pandora or Netflix.
