Can a VPN ensure wireless privacy?

Setting up a VPN greatly enhances the privacy of a wireless network, especially when used in conjunction to WPA or WEP encryption. If you are considering implementing a wireless VPN though, there are a couple of issues that you need to consider. First, if the wireless signal drops for a second, users’ connections will be terminated, and they will have to reestablish their VPN connections. Second, a wireless VPN offers no protection against rogue access points. Third, a wireless VPN doesn’t provide wireless users the same seamless network access as wired users have since they will usually have a separate login for the VPN connection.
