VPN server refers to a server or proxy server located on the internet that allows users to access other websites, applications, or services over the internet. It is often used to bypass the limitations of a local network or to access content that is restricted on the current local network. A VPN server can be a client server or a server proxy. The difference between the two is that a client server connects to the server directly, while a server proxy allows users to access a remote server or proxy without leaving their own network.
