🔒 Think of a VPN as a private tunnel for your internet connection.

When you're using public Wi-Fi at a coffee shop, airport, or hotel, a VPN helps keep your online activity private by encrypting your connection. That means your information is much harder for others to see.

The files are where you left them. The Wi-Fi just works. Nobody has had to restart anything three times and pray today.

AI is starting to do more than draft, summarize, or suggest. Some tools can now connect with files, update records, send messages, and complete parts of a workflow.
