¹ A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that is constructed using public wires — usually the Internet — to connect
remote users to a company’s private, internal network. A VPN secures the private network, using encryption and other se-
curity mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
