VPN is the abbreviation for Virtual Private Network.
VPN is the abbreviation for virtual private network. While a classic private network works via electrically isolated lines in routers and switches, a VPN is a virtualization of this private network.
Devices within a VPN are "among themselves" and cannot be accessed from an external network. This creates a secure environment, especially for critical infrastructure such as security technology.
VPN can also be used to secure data connections over the Internet. Data packets are encrypted when sent, transmitted encrypted via the Internet and decrypted again on the receiving end. With the wherever SIM , various VPN services are available to you on the platform side.
OpenVPN was first published in 2001 under the open source license. Put simply, OpenVPN consists of two components: The VPN security protocol and standalone software. Thanks to the open source concept, this is free of charge for anyone who wants to use it.
With this free OpenVPN software, you can set up your virtual and encrypted network to a VPN server and use it to establish a secure connection to the Internet. This connection is also known as a "tunnel". Your own computer or the network-compatible device that supports OpenVPN can then be accessed via the server's IP address.
Secure data connections are essential, especially in industrial environments. A VPN protects against unauthorized access during the remote maintenance of M2M routers or the monitoring of drones via mobile communications.
In the age of the transition from 2G/3G to modern network standards, the combination of VPN and high-performance mobile connections provides the basis for secure IoT applications with increased data protection requirements.
