A. VPN is a Layer 3 security mechanism; wireless encryption mechanisms are implemented at Layer 2. VPN is implemented over 802.1x , EAP , WEP , TKIP, and AES. When a Layer 2 mechanism is in place, the VPN adds overhead to the implementation. In places like public hotspots and hotels where no security is implemented, VPN would be a useful solution to implement.
