How VPN Works?

VPN - Virtual private networking. To understand the basics of VPN, watch this beautiful video.


Highlights
------------
Technologies which made VPN possible are
1) Network or broadband internet
2) Standards

Types of VPN
1) Remote Access
2) Site to Site

Components of VPN:    VPN Router, VPN Tunnel,

3 parts of VPN
1) Authentication
2) Tunneling : Encapsulating privately addressed packets, by wrapping it up with public internet address and send them to another privare network is called tunneling.
3) Encryption: AES (128/256 bit), 3DES

Protocols used:
1) PPTP (Point to Point tunneling protocol):  by Microsoft. Simple, less secure
2) IPSEC : It is a framework which allows to use different protocol to select Authentication protocol to use or tunneling protocol or encryption type
3) L2TP ( Layer 2 tunneling protocol)

Split tunneling
- Configure VPN for split tunneling
- Split tunneling means, any network packet, which is not intended for VPN server ( or corporate network), should not be encrypted and sent to it. Instead pass it to respective hosts (websites) via ISP's.
