A [[Virtual Private Network]] (VPN) creates an encrypted tunnel between the user and a remote server operated by the VPN service. All of that user's internet traffic and data are routed through this tunnel. As the traffic exits the VPN server, the true IP address is hidden, masking the user's identity and location.<ref>[https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/what-is-a-vpn-and-why-you-need-one What is a VPN and Why you need one, PC Magazine]</ref>
