Also written as Virtual Private Network
A technology that creates an encrypted, private connection over a public network, commonly used so remote employees can securely reach internal company systems as if they were on the office network.

Like a private, sealed tunnel dug under a public highway — you're still using the same public road system, but nobody outside the tunnel can see or touch what's traveling through it.
