A virtual private network, otherwise known as a VPN, is a tool for browsing the internet privately.

A VPN work by encrypting the connection between your device and the VPN server, ensuring that no one can access your data as it travels between the two computers.

When used properly, a VPN can protect you from being tracked in several ways: Websites can’t track you using your real IP address.

P2P peers can't track you by your IP address when using a VPN.

VPNs are not a silver bullet for online anonymity.

Website tracking techniques, VPN provider logs and targeted attacks can still compromise your privacy.

Choose a trusted VPN provider with a strong no-log policy.

Avoid logging into services that can link back to you, use secure browsers and keep your software and passwords up to date.
