VPN: What is it?

Virtual Private Network

Remote network communication through
Internet
Used by companies/organizations who want
to communicate confidentially
Two parts:

Protected or inside network

Outside network or segment (less trustworthy)

VPN: Types

Secure VPNs use cryptographic

tunneling protocols.

IPsec, SSL/TLS, OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP,

L2TPv3, VPN-Q and MPVPN

Trusted VPNs rely on the security of a

single providers network to protect the
traffic.

MPLS and L2F

VPN: Security

Encryption
IPSec
Authentication

User/System and Data

AAA Servers
(Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting)

Firewalls

VPN: Tunneling

Requires 3 protocols

Carrier

Passenger

Default network protocol

Original data

Encapsulation

GRE, IPSec, L2F, PPTP, L2TP

VPN: Tunneling (cont.)

Two Basic types of tunneling

Site-to-Site

Typically uses GRE

Remote-Access

Typically uses PPP

VPN: Advantages

Cost Effective
Greater scalability
Easy to add/remove users
Mobility
Security

VPN: Disadvantages

Understanding of security issues

Unpredictable Internet traffic
Difficult to accommodate products
from different vendors
