VPN Service Overview
What is 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 otherwise 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.
