A VPN (virtual private network) provides a secure,
virtual tunnel between two network devices. A common use of
a VPN is to allow a remote user
to connect to an organisation's network with priviledges associated with
the "inside" of the network, rather than being treated as
"outside" the network (and therefore the firewall.)
