Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are one of the most promising methods available for leveraging the power of public networks for private networking applications. VPNs provide secure and stable tunnels through shared IP-based networks for remote access, extranet, and Intranet connectivity at a significantly less cost than those associated with private leased lines. VPNs use a technique called tunneling to send encrypted data packets across the shared network in a private tunnel that simulates a point-to-point connection. The advanced security features of VPN prevent outsiders to penetrate the transmitted data until it reaches its destination.
