Virtual private networks: What, why, when, where and how
Bill Hancock · Network Security · 1997
In the last few months, I have been asked by many major customer sites to help them with a Virtual Private Network (VPN) implementation strategy. My first question is if they know what a VPN is. The answer, when the fog around the issue gets cleared up, is usually “no”. But, they have been reading about them and feel a need to implement a strategy or get left behind in the technology curve that eludes us all. Sigh.
