  A VPN tunnel is a secure encrypted connection between a network devices and a server that safe guard data transfer over the internet. The VPN tunnel creates a private pathway, shielding transmitted information from interception and unauthorized access. Encryption algorithm convert’s data into unreadable code during transmitted it ensure that if data is intercepted it remains inaccessible and secure. The picture above explain step by step process hoe VPN tunneling work’s Step 1: User initiates a request on their device. Step 2: The VPN software encrypt the request using secure encryption protocol. Step 3: The data travels through secure, encrypted tunnel. Step 4: The VPN server decrypt the data and forward the request to the destination. Step 5: The web processes the request and sends back a response. Then again the process repeats the VPN server encrypt the response data sends it back through the secure VPN tunnel where the VPN client decrypt it and the user device display the se...
