The internet is a place to view any kind of information about almost everything present in the world. In present times, the internet is becoming more and more accessible to individuals all around the world. Once something is easily accessible to the public, it can be easily be violated and abused. In this sense, malware can be easily placed by hackers on the internet for an individual to stumble upon it and the viruses it contains can view significant files on the system of the user that has been infected. Hacking is an act where an individual tries to access another individual without their consent and usually steals information for their gain. A solution to this problem is the usage of a virtual private network (VPN). This academic research aims to present the basic information, significance, and applications of a VPN through various examples, and the computer systems related to it. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.
