A VPN connection is the extension of a private network that
includes links across shared or public networks, such as
the Internet. VPN connections (VPNs) enable organizations
to send data between two computers across the Internet in a
manner that emulates the properties of a point-to-point
private link.
Basically, a VPN is a private network that uses a public
network (usually the Internet) to connect remote sites or
users together. Instead of using a dedicated, real-world
connection such as leased line, a VPN uses "virtual"
connections routed through the Internet from the company's
private network to the remote site or employee. In this
article, you will gain a fundamental understanding of VPNs,
and learn about basic VPN components, technologies,
tunneling and security.

Answer / venkatesh
virtual private network, a network that is constructed by
using public wires to connect nodes. For example, there are
a number of systems that enable you to create networks
using the Internet as the medium for transporting data.
These systems use encryption and other security mechanisms
to ensure that only authorized users can access the network
and that the data cannot be intercepted.

VPN Virtual Private Network, A service which provides
Secure network connectivity between two remote locations
over a insecure network(internet/ISP).VPN is a virtual path
network. it travels packet over unprotected network e.g
internet in a secured manner.For this it is using IPSEC for
authentication, data integrity , confidentiality.For
security IPSEC is using AH, ESP,ESP + AH. for encryption it
is using DES, 3DES & AES.For authentication MD5, SHA.For
protection it is using DH1, DH2, DH5 & DH7.Encrption are of
two types.Symetric and Asymetric.Symetric - Each peer uses
the same key to encrypt and decrypt Data.Asymetric - Each
peer uses the different key to encrypt and decrypt the data.

VPN means Virtual Private Network
Take and example : Our one office is in USA and one in India
We have Hardware VPN over there and installed software VPN
over here in India and implemented the policy file over
here by this way we can connect to US office PC through VPN

Answer / sumit
VPN stand for Virtual private network,It is service which
provides Secure network connection between private network
over a public network, VPN create tunneling between site to
provide encryption on data and secure our data from hacking
VPN use two protocol such as PPTP(Point to Point tunneling
protocol) and L2TP(Layer two tunneling protocal).
