VPN - Virtual Private Network
For secure remote access.
A virtual private network (VPN) is often used by companies or organizations, to communicate confidentially over a public network. A VPN can send data (e.g., voice, data or video, or a combination of these media) across secured and encrypted private channels between two points. VPNs are commonly used to connect office locations together, or to provide remote access to users over an open public network such as the Internet.
