A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a secure, encrypted connection between your device and the internet. It creates a private "tunnel" that protects your data and masks your IP address while browsing or managing your hosting account.

When Should I Use a VPN?
You don’t need to use a VPN all the time — but it's highly recommended when:
- You're on public Wi-Fi networks (cafes, hotels, airports)
- You want to hide your IP address for additional privacy
- Your country restricts certain web services or hosting tools
