description TotalAV Safe Browsing VPN Overview
TotalAV Safe Browsing VPN is a virtual private network feature offered as part of TotalAV's consumer security software. A VPN creates an encrypted connection between the device and a VPN server and can mask the device's public IP address from websites, which can reduce exposure on untrusted networks. It is intended for users who want browser or internet-traffic privacy alongside antivirus and other security tools, although a VPN does not make a user anonymous or protect against every online threat.
