The correct answer is Virtual Private Network.

Key Points

  • A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure and encrypted connection over a less secure network, such as the internet.
  • It is widely used for privacy, security, and accessing restricted content online.
  • VPNs mask your IP address, making it appear as though you're accessing the internet from another location.
  • They are essential for protecting sensitive data, especially when using public Wi-Fi networks.

Important Points

  • VPNs are used for both personal and corporate purposes: Individuals use them to safeguard privacy, while businesses use them to allow secure remote access to their networks.
  • Popular VPN protocols: OpenVPN, IPSec, L2TP, and PPTP are some of the most widely used VPN protocols for secure data transmission.
  • Public vs. Private Networks: A public network, like the internet, is accessible to anyone, while a private network is restricted to authorized users.
