VPN is an acronym for Virtual Private Network. It is a network for creating a secure connection or respectively an encrypted "tunnel" between two separate local networks, for example, the one you use at work and the one you use at home. VPN allows you to securely reach resources like a webserver (maybe hosting HR system) or printer located in your office and helps protect confidential business information from being stolen while outside of the office.

Virtual private networks authenticate users outside the network before letting them in through the tunnel. If I use a VPN, my internet provider and third parties will not be able to monitor which websites I have visited or what data I am transmitting and receiving because the source of my data is becoming a VPN server. But regardless, VPNs have too many disadvantages.
