- A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public
telecommunication infrastructure, (such as the Internet), to provide
remote offices or individual users with secure access to their
organization's network. A virtual private network can be contrasted
with an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used
by one organization. The goal of a VPN is to provide the organization
with the same capabilities, but at a much lower cost.
A VPN works by using the shared public infrastructure while maintaining privacy through security procedures and tunneling
protocols such as the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP).
In effect,
the protocols, by encrypting data at the sending end and decrypting
it at the receiving end, send the data through a "tunnel" that cannot
be "entered" by data that is not properly encrypted. An additional
level of security involves encrypting not only the data, but also the
originating and receiving network addresses
