That’s what VPN enables, that’s what it basically is. And imagine having a remote computer, say in London, that you wish to connect with the other computers as if it were there, within the LAN. Now imagine having a local network (LAN) with several computers – either at a company, or at home. If the network you are using has several devices, then you either have a switch, or the router also works as a switch – allowing several devices to use one router, one Internet connection. If your smartphone is connected to a mobile GSM network (like 3G, 4G, or 5G), then you are connected to your mobile service provider’s router, “patching” you through to the Internet. This enables it to connect to the Internet, from what is basically your device’s local network (LAN – Local Area Network). If you are reading this, your computer, or smartphone, is probably connected to a router.
