What is a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?
A virtual private network extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.
Why have a VPN?
A VPN, or virtual private network, is a secure tunnel between two or more devices. VPNs are used to protect private web traffic from snooping, interference, and censorship. Virtually anyone can benefit from VPN, whether it is to access content outside of your territory, protect your private information, or get access to cheap airfares. There are many attributes that must be considered when choosing a VPN as well; not all VPNs were created equal.
There are two basic VPN types:
1. Remote Access VPN
2. Site – to – Site VPN
1. Remote Access VPN
2. Site – to – Site VPN
Types of VPN protocols:
The above two VPN types are based on different VPN security protocols. Each of these VPN protocols offers different features and levels of security.

1. Internet Protocol Security or IPSec
2. Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
3. Point – to – Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
4. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS)
5. OpenVPN
6. Secure Shell (SSH)
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is an obsolete method for implementing virtual private networks, with many known security issues. PPTP uses a TCP control channel and a Generic Routing Encapsulation tunnel to encapsulate PPP packets.
The PPTP specification does not describe encryption or authentication features and relies on the Point-to-Point Protocol being tunneled to implement security functionality. However, the most common PPTP implementation shipping with the Microsoft Windows product families implements various levels of authentication and encryption natively as standard features of the Windows PPTP stack. The intended use of this protocol is to provide security levels and remote access levels comparable with typical VPN products.
