What Is a VPN Tunnel?

This guide explains VPN tunnels in plain language. It is written to help you make an informed connection choice rather than to promise a one-size-fits-all result.

Key points

• A tunnel carries protected traffic between device and server.
• The outer network sees the encrypted connection rather than its contents.
• The tunnel ends at the chosen VPN server.

What to do next

Choose the option that matches your device and network, then verify the connection with the What is my IP? tool. For available connection methods, see Pow VPN downloads and setup options. You can compare plans and locations on the pricing page.

Keep the basics in mind

A VPN protects the route between your device and a VPN server. It does not replace software updates, strong passwords, careful account use or the rules that apply where you are. Test a connection on the network where you will actually use it.
