-A VPN allows you to create a secure connection to another network on the Internet. It connects a user’s computer or mobile device to a server and allows one to browse the internet using a "cover" IP address. If the VPN server is located in another country, it will appear as if your Internet connection was established from this country. For more details, you can check [our article on how a VPN works](/general/how-vpn-works).
