A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a service that creates a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the internet.
In simple terms, it helps protect your privacy online by hiding your IP address and making your internet activity harder for others to see.
For example, when using public Wi-Fi, a VPN can help keep personal information such as passwords or banking details more secure.
A simple example is browsing the internet in a café: instead of your data travelling openly, a VPN sends it through a private, encrypted tunnel to help keep it safe.
A VPN also works outside of the country. When you go on holiday a VPN allows you to change your online IP address to your home country which allows you to watch all your favourite shows.
