The VPN is used to establish a secure connection (creating a tunnel) to another network over the Internet. It masks our IP address and geographical location and also when the information enters the private tunnel on a VPN, it is always encrypted before it is sent across on other networks.
This private tunnel on VPN allows us to access the data securely How it happens? and when we send an HTTPS request then the request is encrypted so there is no need for data encryption in that case, do we need a VPN to hide our IP address? is it the only usage( Hiding IP address) of VPN with HTTPS requests?
The understanding of the VPN is like an abstract view for me can anyone explain VPN clearly?
- How it hides our IP address
- How it creates the private channel on the internet
- How the encryption happens
