WHAT IS VPN?

VPN is the secure opportunity of accessing a network from the outside. There are software- as well as hardware solutions. By using VPN, you can provide access to your data at home or office, wherever you are - worldwide.

The computer will be integrated in a network by the VPN-client and receives all access-rights from the local network. Therefore you save the cost of expensive long-distance calls for modem connections into the local network or high costs for international leased line.

How secure is VPN?

With the help of a VPN-client as well as certificates and authorization keys for the network, you can establish a secure connection to the company-network. (the transfer of data and authentication will be secured and encrypted). In principle a tunnel over an existing internet-connection will be established. An existing Internet connection is required. The authentication happens on the user-identification of their respective network-user.
