internet, but its signals are encrypted.
VPN -

private network over a public network such as the Internet. VPN is
a "Virtually" private network, meaning its just encrypted and uses
the same internet lines.
What are the two types of LAN servers? -
correct answer ✅Client/server and peer to peer.
A device connected to a network is called... -
correct answer ✅a node.
Tracert -
correct answer ✅(Trace Rout)A command that determines the
route data takes to get to a particular destination. Traces the
"Hops" that the packets take to reach its routing destination.

Ring Topology -
correct answer ✅Data is transferred between computers in a
circular manner.(Least used topology)
LAN -
correct answer ✅Local Area Network; a geographic network that
