In the simplest terms, a VPN is used to create a secure, encrypted connection which can be
thought of as a tunnel between your computer and a server operated by the VPN service.

While you're connected to a VPN, all your network traffic passes through this protected tunnel,
and no one not even your ISP can see your traffic until it exits the tunnel from the VPN server
and enters the public internet. If you make sure to only connect to websites secured with
HTTPS, your data will continue to be encrypted even after it leaves the VPN.
