Basically, VPN which is known as Virtual Private Network is a
loop of proxies which is used so that everyone can maintain their privacy.
Virtual Private Network allows user to encrypt their data so that even their
data cannot be seen by their Internet service providers (isp’s). Vpn’s creates
a much more secure and encrypted connection over insecure or public networks,
such as coffee shops and railway stations. Vpn can also be said as changing the
server location of the current data surfing which allows them to visit blocked
websites by their isp’s. However this very much needed to maintain privacy
because even the governments in many countries track peoples search history.

VPN or Virtual Private Network work in a tunnelling or
looping methodology. This tunnelling or looping is done of several proxies
which makes it difficult to be traced back, however not completely untraceable.
