VPN field descriptions
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) let you securely extend the boundaries of your internal network to use
insecure communication channels (such as the Internet) to safely transport sensitive data. VPNs are used
to allow a single user or a remote network access to the protected resources of another network.
The Symantec Gateway Security 300/400 Series security gateways support two types of VPN tunnels:
Gateway-to-Gateway and Client-to-Gateway.
