Virtual network interface

A virtual network interface is like a pretend computer inside your real computer that lets you pretend to be on a different network. It's like having a special costume for your computer that makes it look like it's from a different place, but really it's still just your computer.

When you use a computer to connect to the internet or another network, your computer talks to other computers using a network interface. This is like a special language your computer uses to communicate with the other computers.

But sometimes, you want your computer to look like it's on a different network than the one you're really on. Maybe you want to play a game that is only available in another country, or maybe you want to access a website that is blocked where you are.

That's where the virtual network interface comes in. It lets your computer talk to the other computers as if it were on a different network than the one it is actually on. This makes it look like your computer is in a different place or has a different identity.

It's like playing pretend, but with your computer instead of toys. And just like you can take off your costume and go back to being yourself, when you're done using the virtual network interface you can go back to using your regular network interface.
