Private addressing means that we can assign the IP address from these ranges to our private network, further, we can add a router to our network which allows our private addresses to communicate with the public IPs like the internet.
We can use the internet to communicate between two private networks however we have to make sure that we are using proper security while transferring the data over the internet because on the internet, there are various kinds of security threats and it makes our private network vulnerable to those threats when we use the internet to communicate.
There are many ways to secure the network, and one of those is using the VPN, A Virtual private network encrypts all the data so on the internet, if someone tries to steal the data, that data will not be used as it is encrypted.
