What Is VPN?
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. A VPN is a virtual, pri-
vate network that uses the Internet as its physical base. The
VPN provides for secure data transmission.
All computers registered in the network are connected with
each other over the Internet so that they can exchange data.
Data transmission takes place over IP, as in the local network.
In a pure transmission over IP the data are not protected and
thus exposed to unauthorized access by third parties.
Security in a VPN is ensured by transmitting the data encrypt-
ed via what is known as a tunnel. This excludes the possibili-
ty of unauthorized access to the data. The tunnel is the logi-
cal, virtual connection.
The terminals of the tunnels can be individual computers or
entire networks. For instance, telecommuters or field staff can
connect to the company network via VPN. The local network
at a branch office can also be connected to the local network
