Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is an affordable, flexible and reliable security solution that exceeds the optional solution of a private WAN. With a private WAN, a new leased line must me added with each new user. A VPN runs over the Internet, which allows more flexibility and affordability. The VPN passes information through tunneling and encryption. Tunneling is a point to point connection between the remote and central offices; encryption scrambles the data on the sending end and reassembles on the receiving end.
