VPN
A VPN tunnels traffic through a remote server, masking the user's IP and location — good for privacy, also used by attackers to hide bot traffic from detection.
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.
