Virtual private network (VPN) acts as a medium of linking your private network with the public network. It can combine the benefits of a dial-up connection to a dial-up server, with the use of an Internet connection. With the use of VPN, you can easily connect to your office, no matter where you are located.
Virtual private network offers the facility that an enterprise can easily connect to its branch offices or to other companies over the Internet while maintaining secure communications. It makes use of authenticated links to ensure that only authorized users can connect to your network.
VPN connection utilizes either Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to encrypt data, so that, data can travel securely over the Internet. In case you are working with Windows Server 2003, then VPN consists of a VPN server, VPN client, VPN connection and the tunnel.
