Internet Service Provider (ISP)

An Internet Service Provider (ISP) refers to an organization that can provide you access to the Internet to somebody who pays the organization.
To use this service, the customers have to pay the ISP organization some amount depending on their package.
This amount also varies according to the quantity of data they use or the data plan which they want to purchase.
An Internet Service Provider is also acknowledged as an Internet Access Provider or an online service provider.

VPN

A virtual private network, or VPN, is an encrypted connection over the Internet from a device to a network.
The encrypted connection helps ensure that sensitive data is safely transmitted. It prevents unauthorized people from eavesdropping on the traffic and allows the user to conduct work remotely.
VPN technology is widely used in corporate environments.
As it is totally disconnected from the rest of the web, it is a secure system. The network can be used safely by the government, companies, and military to utilise system resources.
