What does server stand for in VPN connection?

[Trush Jodie]

Whenever I see a VPN connection, I always see several servers that one can connect to on the VPN. What are those servers and what are they used for? How does those servers on a VPN work? Are there like normal network servers?

The server on a VPN connection acts as the intermediary between your device and the internet. It masks your IP address through encryption.

When you look at VPN servers, know that they are devices that are spread across the world. These servers allow you to choose your virtual location. When you connect to one of these servers, all of your data passes through it, hiding your identity. These servers work just like regular web servers, but they are optimized to protect privacy and provide access to geo-restricted content, making your browsing safe and secure.
