What is the difference between a VPN, a VPN server, and a VPN tunnel?

A VPN is a service that protects your privacy by masking your IP address and online activity. It creates a secure, encrypted VPN tunnel between your device and a remote VPN server, safeguarding your online data from interception. The VPN server acts as an intermediary between your device and the wider internet, hiding your real location and identity.

Can VPN tunnels get hacked?

Yes, like any software, VPN tunnels can be hacked, especially if you’re using a low-quality cracked VPN. A VPN's hackability depends on factors like the protocol, its encryption strength, and the VPN provider's overall security practices. High-quality VPNs like Norton VPN use extremely powerful, bank-grade AES-256 encryption.

How do you set up a VPN tunnel?

Setting up a VPN tunnel typically involves choosing a VPN service, installing the necessary client software on your device, and selecting a VPN protocol and server location. Once connected, your internet traffic is encrypted and routed through the VPN server.
