What is the difference between a vpn application and a vpn service?

Please elaborate. Thank you.|||A VPN service is one that hosts the VPN server you log into. You obtain an account and then use their server as your VPN end point. An example of this is http://www.surfbouncer.com





A VPN application is the software that runs the VPN. An example of that is http://www.openvpn.net|||The application is what you use to connect to the vpn service. Similar to the difference between a phone and the actual service you buy to allow you to use the phone.
