VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) establishes a secure, encrypted tunnel between a user's device and a remote server, masking the user's IP address and location. VPNs are used to protect privacy, secure data transmission, bypass geographic restrictions, and shield online activities from surveillance. While VPNs enhance security and anonymity, they can also be used by malicious actors to hide bot traffic and evade detection systems.
What is a VPN?
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates an encrypted connection between a user's device and a remote server, masking their IP address and location. VPNs are commonly used to enhance privacy and anonymity online, similar to how proxies work but with added encryption and security.
While VPNs serve legitimate privacy purposes, they can also be used to hide malicious bot traffic. Prosopo's intelligent access control can detect and manage VPN traffic appropriately, balancing security needs with user privacy.
