Description
Secure electronic networks are no longer exclusive to large companies. With more people working remotely, businesses need low-cost solutions to provide secure connections over regular Internet lines.
This book explains how to plan and build virtual private networks (VPNs), using technologies such as PPTP, L2TP, Altavista Tunnel, Cisco PIX, and SSH. It covers topics including encryption, firewalls, the IPSec standard, and point-to-point tunneling protocol. The second edition includes new features on SSH and expanded descriptions of IPSec support.
By understanding how to install and use these VPN technologies, you can create secure connections for your organization, whether they're working from home or on the road.
