VPN stand for Virtual Private Network, which is your private connection to the internet. When you connect without a VPN connection your links and internet traffic is freely available to your internet provider. Your website links, where you browse and the websites you visit can all be monitored and logged. How long you are connected for, how long you browse each website\s and where you go on the sites.
With a VPN connection they can see when you connect and the length of time, but the websites you visit and how long you visit them for is private. The VPN is a private tunnel, therefore you are using an internet connection but accessing through that private tunnel away from prying eyes.

That is what it does now which VPN should you use, there are plenty of choices such as NordVPN, ProtonVPN, IP Vanish, ExpressVPN and many others. I would recommend using a paid for VPN like these. They are established and reliable and some of them have been in existence for years and are trusted by millions of people worldwide everyday.

There are more options such as free VPN’s that I wouldn’t touch. The reason being you will be using a shared VPN connection so the more it’s used the slower your connection. Reliability is also an issue as there are no guarantees your connection won’t just drop and refuse to reconnect, they are not worth the headache.
The established VPN’s providers are companies that rely on constant connections and are reliable, also they only charge a small monthly fee. My advice use of one these and enjoy your private browsing.
