Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
Виртуальные частные сети (VPN)
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are a very powerful and general tool that can be used to encrypt all of the communications between participating computers. VPNs can be used to improve the privacy and security of protocols that are not encrypted (or not securely encrypted) by default.
The biggest catch with VPNs is that all of the computers participating in them must be running the same VPN software, and must be correctly configured to communicate with each other. In general, this means that deploying a VPN is a non-trivial task requiring signicant systems administration time.
Organizations that need to arrange secure access to intranet web servers, file servers, print servers and similar facilities should deploy VPNs.
More information about different VPN architectures and software can be found at Wikipedia.
