VPN
technologyVirtual Private Network — a tool that masks your location and encrypts traffic.
Explanation
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and a server in another location. It hides your real IP address and makes it look like you are browsing from a different location. Some users use VPNs to access geo-restricted streaming content, though this usually violates streaming services' terms of service.
