How to connect to your corporate office using a VPN

A VPN (Virtual Private Network) uses a public network such as the Internet to provide secure
communications between a remote computer and another network. Corporations often provide VPN
access to their networks to enable employees to work from remote offices or while traveling. Most
corporate VPNs use the Internet.
For a typical VPN, the corporation installs a VPN gateway on their corporate network. Employees
authorized to work remotely connect to the VPN gateway through the Internet using VPN software
and security methods provided by their employers. Security and authentication requirements ensure
a secure connection and access by only authorized users.
