Define Virtual Private Network ( VPN )
Tags: Networking Remote FAQ
A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.

It allows you to access devices on a remote network as though you were on the same local network.

Applications running across a VPN may therefore benefit from the functionality, security, and management of the private network.
