Adding and Editing VPN Sites using SofaWare Safe@Home Pro<br />
Working With VPNs<br />
A virtual private network (VPN) consists of at least one VPN server or<br />
gateway, and several VPN clients. A VPN server makes the corporate network<br />
remotely available to authorized users, such as employees working from home,<br />
who connect to the VPN server using VPN clients. A VPN gateway can be<br />
connected to another VPN gateway in a permanent, bi-directional relationship.<br />
The two connected networks function as a single network.<br />
A connection between two VPN sites is called a VPN tunnel. VPN tunnels<br />
encrypt and authenticate all traffic passing through them. Through these<br />
tunnels, employees can safely use their company’s network resources when<br />
working at home. For example, they can securely read email, use the<br />
company’s intranet, or access the company’s database from home.<br />
