Virtual Private Networking
|
|
==========================
|
|
|
|
A virtual private network secures public network connections and in doing so it
|
|
extends the private network into the public network such as internet. With a VPN
|
|
you can create large secure networks that can act as one private network.

|
Companies use this technology for connecting branch offices and remote users
|
|
(road warriors).
|
|
|
|
OPNsense supports VPN connections for branch offices as well as remote users.
|
|
|
|
Creating a single secured private network with multiple branch offices connecting
|
|
to a single site can easily be setup from within the graphical user interface.
|
|
For remote users, certificates can be created and revoked and a simple to use export
|
|
utility makes the client configuration a breeze.
