What is a VPN? 

A VPN is an abbreviated term for a virtual private network. A VPN is a mechanism for creating a secure connection between a computing device and a computer network, or between two networks. A VPN encrypts all the traffic coming to and leaving your device to keep your online activities private, even from your ISP, (internet service provider). This means all your data is encrypted and routed through the VPN’s server, so nobody sees what you're doing online.  

 

 

Different types of VPN 

There are multiple different types of VPN. There is also an array of applications for VPN’s. 

 


  • Remote access VPN – A remote access VPN connects specific computers or other devices to a private network as supposed to linking entire locations together via gateways. 

 


  • Site to site VPN – A site to site VPN refers to a connection set up between multiple networks. This could be a corporate network where multiple offices work together or a branch office network with a central office and multiple branch locations. 

 


  • Cloud VPN - A cloud virtual private network (cloud VPN) is a form of technology designed to help users access their organization's applications, data, and files through a website or an application. Unlike traditional or static VPNs, a cloud VPN provides a secure connection that can be rapidly deployed globally.

Network topology can be used to define or describe the arrangement of various types of telecommunication networks, including command and control radio networks and computer networks.  Network topology examples Point to point topology -      This is arguably the most basic topology as it only consists of 2 nodes and a connection between them. So for example, if you were to configure a router in London, to connect and use resources on a network in Manchester, you would want to make sure that you had a link between them that supports your needs.  Star topology - A star topology is a centralised topology consisting of multiple nodes and a central hub/switch. It is also a design where all devices are connected to a central hub or switch, and messages are passed to the central core that, in turn, passes the
