What is a VPN (Virtual Private Network)?

A Virtual Private Network is a connection method used to add security and privacy to both private and public networks. Virtual Private Networks are most often used by corporations to protect sensitive data. Privacy is increased with a Virtual Private Network because the user's initial IP address is replaced with one from the Virtual Private Network provider.
