A virtual private network (VPN) uses access circuits to provide remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organisation's network. A virtual private network can be contrasted with an expensive system of owned or leased lines that can only be used by one organisation. The goal of a VPN is to provide the organisation with the same capabilities, but at a much lower cost.
A VPN works by using the shared public infrastructure while maintaining privacy through security procedures and tunnelling protocols. In effect, the protocols, by encrypting data at the sending end and decrypting it at the receiving end, send the data through a tunnel that cannot be entered. An additional level of security involves encrypting not only the data, but also the originating and receiving network addresses.
