Which network extends a private network over public networks?
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) 🌐 is a powerful tool that allows you to extend a private network across public networks, like the internet. This enables secure communication between devices as if they were on the same private network, ensuring data privacy and protection 🔒. Unlike a Local Area Network (LAN), which connects devices within a limited area, or a Storage Area Network (SAN), which is designed for data storage, a VPN uses encryption to keep your data safe when it travels over public networks.
