A VPN acts like a secure tunnel between your device and the internet. It hides your online activity from hackers, ISPs, or anyone trying to monitor your connection. There are two main types of VPNs:
Site-to-Site VPN: Connects entire networks (e.g., a company’s headquarters and branch offices) over the internet.
This type links multiple physical networks securely. For example, it lets a company’s offices share data safely over the internet.
Key Protocol:
• IPSec: IPsec is a network protocol used for the encryption of IP traffic. IPsec is frequently used as the secure communication protocol for business VPNs, most commonly with a tunneling protocol like L2TP. IPsec is supported on many operating systems and device types, including embedded devices and network routers.
Client-to-Site VPN: Lets individual devices (like laptops or phones) securely access a remote network (e.g., a corporate intranet).
OpenVPN
• Uses SSL/TLS encryption and supports AES (a high-strength encryption standard).
• Works on both UDP and TCP, making it adaptable to different networks.
💡 Best for: Privacy-focused users or accessing highly restricted content.
