    Consider the path that your internet connection to a site or game as going along public roads, through various intersections, etc. A VPN is like a privately owned express tunnel. For better or worse (usually better), it alters your path to connect to something far away, trying to increase the speed and packet safety on the way there. It usually costs money though and to varying degrees of success.
