【NGAF】WatchGuard IPSec VPN Configuration Guide_V8.0.47

Introduction

The full name of the VPN is Virtual Private Network. VPN is defined as establishing a temporary and secure connection over a public network (through the Internet), a secure and stable tunnel through a chaotic public network. Using this tunnel, you can encrypt data several times to safely achieve the purpose of using the Internet. A virtual private network is an extension of an intranet. Virtual private networks help remote users, corporate branches, business partners, and suppliers establish trusted and secure connections to the company’s intranet for secure extranet virtual private networks that connect to business partners and users. VPN mainly uses tunnel, encryption, decryption, key management, and user and device identity authentication technology.
