A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a method used to add security and privacy to private and public networks, like Wi-Fi hotspots and the internet. VPNs are most often used by corporations to protect sensitive data, however, using a personal VPN is becoming increasingly popular for every citizen, as more interactions that were previously face-to-face transition to the internet. Privacy is increased with a VPN because the user’s originating IP address is hidden and replaced with one from the VPN provider. This method allows subscribers to obtain an IP address from any ‘gateway’ city that the VPN service provides. For instance, you may live in San Francisco, but with a VPN you can appear to live in Amsterdam, New York, or any number of gateway cities. It, along with TOR or I2P, is also the best method of surfing the web anonymously.

Plus, it allows you the freedom to download torrents and use P2P programs… all anonymously.
