A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a secured method that permits people
to access their computers from the Internet. For example, it allows employees
to work from home or to access their computers when they are away on
business.
Because SDSL provides a high-speed Internet access for both uploading and
downloading files, it is often better suited for VPN than is ADSL.
A number of vendors provide inexpensive VPN software packages that are
easy to install and don't require complex software or hardware
configurations. As more people elect to work from home and more
companies decide to outsource work overseas, VPN with an SDSL connection
will become increasingly popular.
