Virtual Private Network

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

A virtual private network (VPN) creates a secure connection that runs across a public network. The most common implementation of VPN is to use the Internet as the backbone connecting multiple remote sites within a single organization. Without VPNs, remote offices are connected in multiple ways. For example, a remote office might have a voice connection to the main office (via a Telco), a data connection to the main office (via a Telco), and a separate Internet connection. The goal of VPNs is to use existing Internet connections to carry the voice and data communication. While this has always been possible, it has been rejected because data traveling across the Internet is subject to snooping by unwanted eyes. VPNs bring together the ability to use the Internet for communication, which is typically much less expensive than a Telco connection, and the security that is required. When a company implements VPN, each site has a service to encrypt data before it goes out over the public Internet. The information is decrypted when it reaches its destination. The result is a private, but virtual, network.

An analogy helpful for defining a VPN is a room full of people in which everyone can hear everyone else, but three people are speaking in a language only they can understand. They are having a private conversation across a public forum.

VPN Implementations:

Intranet VPN - a VPN that extends across the Internet to connect branch offices to the corporate network.

Extranet VPN - a VPN that connects a business with its customers, suppliers, and/or partners.

Remote user VPN - a VPN that provides a secure connection for telecommuters when they communicate across the Internet. This service is more cost-effective than having the remote users dial directly into a corporate modem bank.

A VPN can be implemented across any IP-based network, so for special security needs, VPNs are sometimes deployed within a corporate environment.
