Short for virtual private network, a network that is constructed by using public wires to connect nodes. For example, there are a number of systems that enable you to create networks using the Internet as the medium for transporting data. These systems use encryption and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is used to provide secure, encrypted communication between a network and a remote host or other remote network over the public Internet. VPN's allow the establishment of an encrypted "tunnel" that protects the flow of network traffic from eavesdroppers.
