What is a VPN for Windows?
A VPN for Windows is a cybersecurity tool that secures your online traffic while you browse, stream, or work on your Windows device. When you connect to a VPN server using a VPN client, your internet connection becomes encrypted and you get a VPN server’s IP address. It lets you explore the internet with increased privacy and security.
