What is a VPN?
A VPN is a service that encrypts your internet connection and routes it through a remote server, hiding your IP address and protecting your data from hackers, ISPs, or surveillance.
Why Use a VPN?
- Privacy – Hides your online activity from ISPs & governments.
- Security – Encrypts data on public Wi-Fi (e.g., airports, cafes).
- Access Blocked Content – Bypass geo-restrictions (e.g., Netflix, BBC iPlayer).
- Avoid Censorship – Access restricted websites in certain countries.
