This is a complex topic that demands further explanation, but here's a stub.<br>
If you want to prevent anyone between your computer and the web sites / internet services you are connecting to from seeing both the contents of and what sites/services you are connecting to, use an anonymizing service such as [https://www.torproject.org/ Tor].<br>
If you want to secure communications between two or more networks that you have access to connected through an untrusted network (such as the internet), use a VPN such as [https://openvpn.net/ OpenVPN].

=Tor=
From the Tor website:
Tor is free software and an open network that helps you defend against traffic analysis, a form of network surveillance that threatens personal freedom and privacy, confidential business activities and relationships, and state security.
Using:
* For securing just web browsing, use the Tor browser.
* For securing specific applications, use the Tor application itself and then configure your applications to use the local SOCKS5 proxy (by default on port 9050).

=OpenVPN=
OpenVPN is an open-source secure VPN that runs on just about any platform (Linux/Unix/BSD/Windows/Mac OS/Android/etc). Its configuration can be complex, but there are GUIs to make configuring the servers and clients easier.
