A VPN (Virtual Private Network) attempts to provide privacy as well as an
added layer of security by creating a private network from a public
internet connection. VPN’s do this by masking your IP address so that your
interactions on the internet are close to untraceable. They also establish
secure and encrypted connections to assist with greater privacy than your
regular secured Wi-Fi. (Symanovich, 2). It is important to note that not all
VPN companies are alike. It will not benefit a person to use a VPN if the
provider is the one who logs them instead of your ISP. This happens when
you pick a provider that keeps logs. At that point, you can become
exposed to severe VPN security risks because you are no longer in control
