In a way yes,

This is from wiki, might help people understand a bit more

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. It aims to avoid an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can be used by only one organization. The goal of a VPN is to provide the organization with the same secure capabilities but at a much lower cost.

In computing, Virtual Network Computing (VNC) is a graphical desktop sharing system that uses the RFB protocol to remotely control another computer. It transmits the keyboard and mouse events from one computer to another, relaying the graphical screen updates back in the other direction, over a network.


So yes Homepipe would be a kind of VPN, Orb more or a Media Stream, that kinda uses VPN.

Either in the settings of the Speedtest App, or use Instant IP App/Widget

[adrynalyne]

I did it, because I could.

Not because I was actually using it.
