About this lesson

Using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) offers significant benefits related to privacy, security, and accessibility on the internet. A VPN masks your real IP address, making it difficult for websites, advertisers, and potential eavesdroppers to track your online activities. It helps prevent websites and services from tracking your browsing habits and creating detailed profiles based on your internet usage.
