What Is VPN

VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. When you connect to your preferred VPN Service, your connecting your device straight to their server. The internet gets accessed from the server which will allocate you a static IP. That new static IP will then become your new identity online. Your real IP will simply vanish (while your connected that is).

Any website you visit will first go to the VPN Server and then through a secure connection to your device. Now that your data's encrypted between your device and the server. No one can steal it or even have a little peek.

In most Virtual Private Networks with a good service provider you can change the server you want to connect to. This will enable you to connect to a US based server even if your in China. It will appear to any website you visit that you are in the US. You can then make use of US based services like Netflix, Hulu and many more.
