Virtual Private Network: A Virtual Private Network (VPN) enables
remote offices or users to gain secure access their organization's

dedicated leased or owned lines. VPNs work by using tunneling
protocols, such as L2TP, to encrypt data at the sending end, and
decrypt the data at the receiving end. This "tunnel" cannot be
accessed by data that is not properly encrypted.
