What is a potential benefit of using a VPN? Select one: a.

You could securely connect to a corporate or personal network from far away through the Internet and access local resources, such as printers and files, as if you were present in that location, even though you might be on the other side of the world. c. You could protect your data exchange on a public WIFI network (airport, public cafe) by using encryption and connect to an external VPN server, so people at the public WIFI location cannot monitor and potentially access your Internet activities. d. All of these.

d. All of these.

Explanation:

A VPN is an acronym for Virtual Private Network and it's a secured, encrypted and private web-based service used for accessing region-restricted and censored internet content. A VPN protects web data from potential hackers and government surveillance by hiding the real IP address of the host and encrypting user's internet traffic.

Basically, the VPN is a computer software that enables internet users to create a secured connection (sends and receives data) over public or shared networks like they're directly connected to the private network.

The potential benefits of a VPN service are;

- It increases privacy level by guarding the real IP address on the Internet.

- It protects user data exchange on a public Wi-Fi network by encryption.

- It can be used to securely connect to a corporate or personal network from far away through the Internet and access local resources.
