What is a VPN?

VPN is stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN is a lot like what it sounds like: a private Network. Let me explain a little. Just imagine a Highway with many vehicles travels two ways. If you’re on the highway you can see each traffic in the network. Just like the highway when you connect to the internet your data transfers in a line like the highway. If you are with a good technical knowledge you can take that internet traffic and find valuable information like Bank account details. When it comes to a VPN this kind of thing can’t be done. Because all of your data is encrypted by a key known by you and a server. Whether someone take your data he/she can’t find what are they without the correct key. If you are user that worry about your data security here is the method to secure them with your own vpn.

Advantages of VPN

Here I list some advantages of VPN.

1. Encrypt you data so no one will track you or your data
2. You can change your ip in to a country as you decide
3. Unblock all websites blocked by your country
4. If you’re a dark web user here you can swim in to the deep web without any fear
5. No one can track Who you are.

Here I’m going to make this post on Install a VPN on your own Ubuntu Server. If you’re a student and you don’t have a server Just read this guide : free server
