Tech Topic: Virtual Private Networks (VPNs)nExplained

In this Tech Topic live class recording, I explain what a virtual private network is. I cover the basics of what makes a network private and how the virtual part works, using several diagrams to illustrate the concepts. Additionally, I discuss some tips for what a VPN can and cannot do in terms of privacy and when it makes sense for someone to use one. I also recommend an article from Wirecutter that provides a more in-depth explanation of VPNs and makes specific recommendations for two highly rated VPNs.
