VPN

Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is a security measure that basically creates
a secure connection between two remote locations. This connection is very
specific as far as its settings are concerned; this is what creates the security.
The VPN screen, shown in Figure 7-10, allows you to configure your VPN set-
tings to make your network more secure.
