From Wikipedia:
> ["A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network."](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_private_network)
But that's a little technical for some people. What you need to know, is that a VPN can protect your location and identity from sites and tools you use, by changing your [IP Address](https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address). While it sounds like a godsend, it's crucial to remember that there is no such thing as complete anonymity on the internet. Because your VPN provider can still see your data, a VPN is only as secure as it's provider is trustworthy. However despite it's insecurities, VPNs can still be helpful and even necessary in specific situations. Namely while torrenting, but more on that in the [torrenting section](). Please review [this information](https://www.privacytools.io/providers/vpn/#info) about VPNs before purchasing one or discounting them altogether.

If you decide a VPN would be useful for you, please purchase one. Free VPN providers are significantly more likely to dishonor no-log policies and sell your data. Refer to That One Privacy Guy's [VPN comparison chart](https://thatoneprivacysite.net/#simle-vpn-comparison) when choosing one. Once you've purchased a VPN and installed the application for it, use is usually as simple as clicking 1 button to enable it.
