I keep hearing about VPNs but don't really understand what they do. Can someone explain in simple terms?

A VPN service is like a secure tunnel for your internet. Without VPN: your ISP sees everything you do, websites know your location, hackers can intercept data on public WiFi. With VPN: all traffic is encrypted, nobody sees what you're doing, you can appear in any country. Real uses: streaming Netflix from other countries, staying safe on coffee shop WiFi, bypassing censorship. I use ExpressVPN - fastest speeds, works with all streaming services, 3,000+ servers in 105 countries. Around $6-13/month. Think of it as insurance for your online privacy.
