VPN

Virtual Private Networking (VPN) uses a publicly wired network (i.e. the Internet) to securely connect two different networks as if they were the same network. For example, an employee can access the corporate network from home using VPN.

There is not standard for VPN server software so many different implementations for VPN networking exist. PPTP and IPSec are examples of some different types of VPN implementations.
