Virtual Private Network in short VPN is a technology which lets a computer using a public Internet connection to join a private network by way of a secure “tunnel” between that machine and the network. One of the most common case is a company allowing its employees to connect their work networks from home or from their computer at their own comfort.

We can configure VPN in two different ways. The most used and more commonly used method called outgoing, is setting a remote computer to call into the office networks. The second less used method is from the network side, where a computer allows secured connections from other computer. Windows 7 users can be comfortable as it comes loaded with Agile VPN client which makes it easy to configure in both ways easily.
