Each and every time you access the internet you leave
behind a trail of data relating to the various stuff
you just did but the basic stuff that remains with any
of the website that you visit is your ip( Internet protocol)
address. This ip address is really useful in various ways
as it gives each and every device its own set of unique
id to browse the internet. For many who fear that their
conversations and data is at risk they use VPN.
The VPN is the software that smartly changes your ip address
well what it does is you access the server of the vpn client
by using your own ip and then the vpn client swaps the ip
with a random(unless specified) address and hence you can
surf the various sites without the risk of being tracked.
So basically you may be a resident of india but via vpn
the website thinks you are a citizen of someplace else
let's say USA or hong-kong.So there is particular benefit
like netflix can't be accessed in india but you wan't to
access it so all you do is change your ip to bypass netflix
server as NYC citizen.
