The benefits of using a VPN service to protect your privacy are clear: Your ISP and other snoops won't be able to spy on your online activity. What's not always clear is which VPN service is trustworthy. A VPN, or virtual private network, is software that creates a secure connection between your device and the internet by routing your internet traffic through an encrypted tunnel to a remote server. A VPN essentially masks your IP address and helps keep some of your browsing activities private.

It reads well in the FROM clause: SELECT id , name FROM users ; The arguments for singular are more subtle: Strictly speaking, we’re not naming a table, we’re naming a relati
