Managing the VPN Service
Virtual Private Network (VPN) is two or more computers or networks (nodes) connected
by a private link of encrypted data. This link simulates a local connection, as if the
remote computer were attached to the local area network (LAN).
VPNs allow users at home or away from the LAN to securely connect to it using any
network connection, such as the Internet. From the user’s perspective, the VPN
connection appears as a dedicated private link.
