Virtual Private Network. Used by many to mask their identity so that they can’t be tracked by their internet service provider.

For example, if you’re based in Seattle, you can connect to a host located in Germany or Singapore, and your IP address will show as such.

Like anything else there's good and bad. We all see what anonymity can do and do for bad actors.

I do see potential for abuses from government. I also see people potentially dying. Terrorists need to hide, people with malicious intent need to hide.

It's a balancing act. Freedom/rights vs safety/integrity.

If I use the internet while there in Moscow I won't be using a VPN. i don't have anything to hide.

Because Russia wants war. That's why.

I always use a VPN when accessing Wi-Fi networks abroad. That's recommended by security professionals.

Haven't they always? With Russia, it's "the more things change, the more they stay the same".

Why does the US occupy other countries? That's what you do, if you want to prove you're a global superpower. Russia wants us to know they're still in the game.
