What is VPN and why it is used?

 

What is a VPN - In today's time, we only use the internet to get any kind of information? Don't know which websites to visit and use a lot of apps. But do you know that someone is also tracking you and can hack your computer or smartphone?

 Often people use VPN to open some Block Websites. Apart from this, many people also use it to hide their identity so that their identity cannot be tracked. In today's time, VPN is a good way to save your privacy and to communicate secretly on the Internet.

 

Nowadays many such web tools can be easily used to know what someone is searching on the Internet, who shares what information on the Internet, can know your IP, etc. But all this can be stopped through a VPN network. So in today's article, we will know what VPN is and how it works. So do read this article till the end.

 

What is a VPN?

 

The full form of VPN is Virtual Private Network. This is a networking technology that allows us to make secure and encrypted connections on the Internet. Whatever data exchange we do on the Internet while using a VPN, it is all done in an encrypted way so that no Hackers or anyone else can track it. Apart from this, people use VPN more to hide their real identity so that if someone tracks them, then they will not know who they are.

 

It is used by many large organizations and the IT sector as they have to exchange very important information on the Internet. By using a VPN, they can keep their data very secure and can surf anything on the Internet in an anonymous way. Many types of hackers use it on the Dark Web so that no one can catch them, but the technology has become very advanced and the hackers can be tracked on the Dark Web to a large extent.

How does VPN work?

 

The way these works is very simple because whatever request we make from our Browser through any search engine, the VPN encrypts that request and sends it to the ISP and even to that web server, we create the connection via VPN Is Meaning that the same IP address will go to that web server which is our VPN server. A VPN is a type of computer server in which something is configured to make it a VPN server.

 

After using this network, everything you search will be encrypted and will go to your ISP. For example, if you visit Google.com, it will change to another word. After which your ISP (InternetService Provider) will not know which website you have visited. And thus an A Block website can also be opened.

 

The reason for this is that not every website is closed in every country. For example, if a website is closed in India and is operational in another country, then that website can be opened using a VPN. But the Ban website should not be opened because the government may not have banned it like this. There must have been some reason behind it, such as a Hacking Activity or any Pirated Content or it may be illegal. So overall it is a matter of high encryption in VPN and on the Internet, it encrypts our data and sends it.
