8 VPN
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) is a private network built on a public network (usually the
Internet). This private network exists only logically and has no actual physical lines. VPN technology
is widely used in corporate networks to share resources between corporate branches and
headquarters, while ensuring that these resources are not exposed to other users on the internet.
