Question

Your boss wants you to configure his laptop so that he can access the company network when he is on the road. You suggest a VPN connection to him. He is very concerned about security and asks you how secure VPN is. What do you tell him?

Answer 1

All traffic that flows between the laptop and VPN server is encrypted.

Step-by-step explanation:

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a "tunnel" connection between computers that performs just like a regular point-to-point network connection (that is, IP address to IP address). It has the added feature that encryption is enabled so that no intermediate server (or computer or line monitor, etc.) can decode the information that is in the data portion of the packets.
