What is a VPN
> What is a Virtual Private Network (VPN)?
A VPN allows multiple locations (or sites) to electronically communicate as if they were a in single location.> Basic explanation of a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
A group of computers all connected together is known as a network.A Network of computers is far more productive and useful than just a single computer and allows the sharing of both information and resources, such as documents, databases, printers and Internet connectivity.
To securely join together two or more networks from different locations, or even just to connect an single additional computer to a remote network, did use to demand a costly Internet connection and expensive specialist security hardware.
Over the past few years, organisations have been looking to allow networks to join together across the Internet cheaply.
The development of VPN's (Virtual Private Networks) and the widespread take-up of broadband connections has provided, for the first time, the ability for organisations, without enormous IT budgets, to be able to join together multiple locations cheaply, securely and simply.
