󱘖 VPN

  • What is a VPN? A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a service that allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet. It can be used to access region-restricted websites by masking your internet protocol (IP) address, making your online actions virtually untraceable.

  • Why is a VPN useful? Here are some key reasons:

    • Privacy: VPNs hide your IP address and encrypt your data, providing enhanced privacy and security.
    • Access: VPNs can bypass geographic restrictions on websites or streaming audio and video.

  • Example - Tailscale VPN: Tailscale is a VPN service that makes it easy to connect all of your devices, no matter where they are. It uses the WireGuard protocol to create a secure, private network between your devices. This can be particularly useful for remote work, as it allows you to securely access your work network from home.
