VPNenheter
VPNenheter refers to devices designed to establish and manage Virtual Private Network (VPN) connections. These devices facilitate secure, encrypted communication over public networks, such as the internet, creating a private network for users or organizations. They can range from dedicated hardware appliances to software solutions integrated into routers or computers. The primary function of a VPNenhet is to encapsulate and encrypt data packets before transmission and then decrypt them upon arrival at the destination. This ensures the confidentiality and integrity of the data being sent. Common types of VPNenheter include VPN routers, VPN servers, and VPN clients. VPN routers often serve as the gateway for an entire network, connecting it to a VPN. VPN servers host the VPN service and authenticate user connections. VPN clients are installed on individual devices to initiate connections to a VPN server. Security protocols such as IPsec and SSL/TLS are typically employed by these devices to establish and maintain secure tunnels. Businesses commonly use VPNenheter to allow remote employees to access internal resources securely, while individuals may use them for enhanced online privacy and security.
