Techopedia Explains Personal VPN

Personal VPN enables end users to create a VPN tunnel between their devices and a remote network, such as a personal VPN that interconnects an individual’s mobile phone, computer or laptop with their office computer, server and/or the network. The tunnel creates a secure and encrypted communication path, ensuring that all data sent and received is safe from hackers and eavesdroppers. It is also used by individuals to browse anonymously, where their IP address and location is not disclosed.
