We always read or have heard about these technologies but what they are really and how can I use them in certain situations.
VPN
VPN or a Virtual Private Network, makes you connect to a secure connection over the Internet.
Tethering
Using tethering can make you share your phone's Internet connection with several devices, such as your computer, tablet or other gadgets. Tethering works when your phone is connected to the Internet via mobile data or Wi-Fi network.
Personal Hotspot
This makes you share the data or Internet connection of your phone to other devices.
Use Wi-Fi Tethering
This makes your phone as a Wi-Fi router which basically has the same functionality to that of a traditional router which enables the sharing of the internet to other Wi-Fi devices.
Note: Wi-Fi Tethering will automatically turn off if no device is connected for more than 10 minutes. This is to save energy. A maximum of 10 devices can be connected but cannot be used simultaneously with features such as OPPO Share, Wi-Fi Direct, or Multi-screen Interaction.
Use USB Tethering

Tether via Bluetooth
This is a method of sharing your phoneās Internet connection with your computer via Bluetooth.
Wireless Transport
Wi-Fi Direct
Wi-Fi Direct allows devices to connect to each other directly through Wi-Fi, without the need of a Wi-Fi network or hotspot, and without having to set up the connection. You can also use Wi-Fi Direct to share files with the help of third-party apps, such as ZAPYA.
Multi-Screen Interaction
You can stream your phone screen to TV sets, TV Boxes, or computers which is certified with Wi-Fi Miracast technology.
