All traffic between your computer and the VPN server is encrypted. It is as if you were connecting to the network or Internet through the VPN server instead of your computer. When you connect through a VPN, your computer sends all network traffic through a 'tunnel' to the VPN server, which then passes on your network traffic to a local network or the Internet. It does this by creating a 'Virtual Private Network', or 'VPN' to a VPN server using a program named 'OpenVPN', which is included within the Tunnelblick application.
