The following is an example of a computer-to-VPN Router
VPN. In her hotel room, a traveling businesswoman
connects to her Internet Service Provider (ISP). Her
notebook computer has VPN client software that is
configured with her office’s VPN settings. She accesses the
VPN client software and connects to the VPN Router at the
central office. As VPNs utilize the Internet, distance is not
a factor. Using the VPN, the businesswoman now has a
secure connection to the central office’s network, as if she
were physically connected.
