# VPN
|
|
|
|
A VPN is a virtual private network.
|
|
It uses a secure connection between a computer and a network or two networks.
|
|
It can be used to display another [IP address](/wiki/ip_address.md) but does not make tracking or
|
|
fingerprinting of the device impossible.
|
|
For the latter a plugin like [Chameleon](/wiki/chameleon.md) for [Firefox](/wiki/firefox.md)
|
|
can be used.
|
|
VPNs feature a server and a client side.
|
|
|
|

- [OpenVPN](/wiki/openvpn.md) is probably the most well known VPN implementation.
|
|
- [WireGuard](/wiki/wireguard.md) is a modern, fast and secure implementation of the VPN protocol.

It is free and open-source.
