[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 482319, member: 8133"] Think of a VPN is a tunnel, or a conduit if you prefer, everything you do is piped to its exit point, which can be something you have set up, or there are plenty of providers on the internet. Everything travelling through it is encrypted (scrambled), so even if its running through a dodgy wifi that M107's mate has set up, they can't get your private information, all they can see is the VPN tunnel running through it. They have a few different uses, privacy, pretending you are in another counrty (some content might be available in certain countries only), but the biggest is probably teleworking, folk can work from home, and be tunnelled through the internet to the corporate network in the office and assessing everything as if they were at work, files, printers, etc [/QUOTE]
