Lesson 13.2 Virtual Private Networks

Virtual Private Networks

With today’s mobile workforce, most networks have to support connections by remote employees, contractors, and customers to their network resources. These remote connections often make use of untrusted public networks, such as the Internet. To counter the security risks associated with public networks, organizations implement a virtual private network (VPN) over the public network to ensure secure communications. Consequently, understanding how to implement secure remote access VPN protocols will be a major part of your job as a network professional.

As you study this lesson, answer the following questions: 

  • Which protocols support VPNs?
  • What are the ways a VPN can be implemented? 
  • What is the difference between a full tunnel and split tunnel?
