VPN ImplementationOverview of VPN A virtual private network (VPN) is a means of connecting to a private network (such as your office network) by way of a public network (such as the Internet). By using an Internet connection, you can travel worldwide and still, in most places, connect to your office with a local call to the nearest Internet-access phone number. Virtual private networks use authenticated links to make sure that only authorized users can connect to your network. To make sure data is secure as it travels over the public network, a VPN connection uses Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) or Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) to encrypt data. Components of a VPN
A VPN in servers running Windows Server 2003 is made up of a VPN server, a VPN client, a VPN connection (that portion of the connection in which the data is encrypted), and the tunnel (that portion of the connection in which the data is encapsulated).
