Virtual Private Network(VPN)



A virtual private network (VPN) is a computer network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure such as the Internet to provide remote offices or individual users secure access to their organization's network. It aims to avoid an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can be used by only one organization.

It encapsulates data transfers using a secure cryptographic method between two or more networked devices which are not on the same private network so as to keep the transferred data private from other devices on one or more intervening local or wide area networks. There are many different classifications, implementations, and uses for VPNs.
VPN gives extremely secure connections between private networks linked through the Internet. It allows remote computers to act as though they were on the same secure, local network.

VPN : 
·         1. Allows you to be at home and access your company's computers in the same way as if you were sitting at work.
·         2. Almost impossible for someone to tap or interfer with data in the VPN tunnel.
·         3. If you have VPN client software on a laptop, you can connect to your company from anywhere in the world.
