VPN Tunnels
Virtual Private Network (VPN) technology lets you securely extend the boundaries of your internal
network through the use of VPN tunnels. Tunnels are used to let either a single user or a remote
network gain access to your protected resources. Connections are usually encrypted to ensure privacy
and authenticated to ensure integrity.
