A VPN(virtual private network) is a tool that creates a secure, encrypted connections between your device and the internet, hiding your real IP address and protecting your data from prying eyes.
Simply put, a VPN is a tool that encrypts your data from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
The ISP is your Internet provider.
Without VPN :- Our devices —> ISP —> Internet
with VPN:- Our devices —-> VPN Client —-> VPN Server —–> Internet
VPN Client (The Sender): This is the app or software on your device (like your phone, laptop, or tablet). When you open your VPN app and tap “Connect,” the client packages your data, encrypts it (locks it in a secure box), and sends it out.
VPN Server (The Delivery Hub): This is a remote computer located somewhere else in the world. It receives the locked box from your client, unlocks it (decrypts it), and sends your request out to the actual website you want to visit.
VPN Client: Encrypts (scrambles) your data so your ISP (Internet Service Provider) cannot read it.
ISP: Acts like a blind mail carrier. They can only see that you are sending a package to a VPN Server, but they have no idea what is inside.
VPN Server: Decrypts (unscrambles) your data and sends it out to the Internet.
