VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORKS (VPNS) IN MODERN IT: FUNDAMENTALS, ARCHITECTURE, AND USE CASES

Аннотация

A remote access (or client-to-site) VPN connects individual users to a private network. The user runs VPN client software which tunnels their device’s traffic to a VPN server (gateway) on the organization’s network. This allows remote employees to access intranet resources as if their device were physically on the local network. All communication between the remote client and the VPN gateway is encrypted, protecting it from interception as it travels over the Internet. Remote access VPNs have become critical for telework, enabling secure communication for employees working from home, traveling, or on public Wi-Fi networks.
