VPNs create “virtual” point-to-point connections using a technique called ‘tunneling’. As the name suggests, tunneling acts like a ‘pipe’ which bores through a network cloud to connect two points. Typically started by a remote user, the tunneling process encapsulates data and encrypts it into standard TCP/IP packets, which can then safely travel across the Internet.
