Virtual Private Network

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a technology that creates a secure, encrypted connection over a less secure network, typically the internet. It allows users to send and receive data as if their devices were directly connected to a private network, enabling remote access and enhancing privacy by masking IP addresses and encrypting traffic.

Also known as: VPN, Virtual Private Networking, Secure Tunnel, Encrypted Connection, Remote Access Network

🧊Why learn Virtual Private Network?

Developers should learn VPNs for secure remote access to corporate networks, testing geo-restricted applications, and protecting sensitive data during development. Use cases include accessing internal APIs from home, simulating user locations for app testing, and securing connections on public Wi-Fi while coding.
