Virtual Private Network

What is a Virtual Private Network?

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) connects components and resources of one network to another network. VPNs can accomplish this by simply allowing what is referred to as tunneling. The user tunnels through the Internet or another public network and does this in a manner that lets the tunnel participant enjoy the same security and features usually only available in private networks.

This allows telecommuters, remote employees and branch offices to connect in a secure fashion to a corporate server located near the corporate Local Area Network (LAN) using the routing infrastructure provided by a public internet provider such as earthlink.com.au
