VPN gives extremely secure connections between private
networks linked through the Internet. It allows remote
computers to act as though they were on the same secure,
local network.
Advantages
* Allows you to be at home and access your company's
computers in the same way as if you were sitting at work.
* Almost impossible for someone to tap or interfer with
data in the VPN tunnel.
* If you have VPN client software on a laptop, you can
connect to your company from anywhere in the world.
Disadvantages
* Setup is more complicated than less secure methods.
VPN works across different manufacturers' equipment, but
connecting to a non-NETGEAR product will add to difficulty,
since there may not documentation specific to your situation.
* The company whose network you connect to may require
you to follow the company's own policies on your home
computers ( ! )
VPN goes between a computer and a network
(client-to-server), or a LAN and a network using two routers
(server-to-server). Each end of the connection is an VPN
"endpoint", the connection between them is a "VPN tunnel".
When one end is a client, it means that computer is running
VPN client software such as NETGEAR's ProSafe VPN Client.
The two types of VPN:
VPN Client-to-Server (Client-to-Box)
VPN Server-to-Server (Box-to-Box)
