What is a VPN?
How to use it ?
A VPN “Virtual Private Network” means in English “Virtual Private Network”.
It allows them to be linked with another device connected to the internet, which means that they are under the same virtual local network. The devices must have a different IP address to differentiate them. If you wish, an article about the IP address is available at my-ip . The second device will act as a separator between the main device and the receiver ...
The main device will therefore send a request which will go through the second device (VPN), which will in turn be sent to the receiver without the latter knowing that the request comes from another device (than the second).
To put it simply, the second device that acts as a VPN replaces the main device as the sender of the request.
A VPN can therefore simply take the form of a router or a firewall to protect against external threats.
There are many uses for a VPN. A VPN can be useful for professionals as well as individuals. They are generally used to counter viruses or cyber attacks.
An individual will use a VPN to protect his privacy. Indeed, your IP address can give a lot of information about you, such as your location. Another article is available on this subject at my-ip . For a professional a VPN can be used to encrypt a channel or access a remote device which looks like a local network. This is what large companies usually do.
A VPN can also be used to access a site that is not available in certain countries. This is because a VPN server is not geographically limited which therefore allows access to restricted content that you would not have access without a VPN.
When you visit a site where you can purchase a product, the seller may be able to change the price based on your IP address. Why would he do this? Because the seller will see that you are potentially interested in the product so it is likely that you will buy it on your future visits.
