zdnet.com Charlie Osborne 2025-07-20 20:40:16

Virtual private networks (VPNs) are essential security tools to stop others from spying on you online. A VPN encrypts your data and conceals your Internet Protocol (IP) address, making it a great tool for general online use, traveling, and streaming. VPNs route traffic through their server network, assigning users new IP locations and preventing tracking, targeted advertising, and data theft. VPNs are not a silver bullet for security, but the best VPN services will protect your privacy without
