4. VPN: What is it? Virtual Private Network Remote network communication through Internet Used by companies/organizations who want to communicate confidentially Two parts:  Protected or “inside” network  “Outside” network or segment (less trustworthy)

5. VPN: Types Secure VPNs use cryptographic tunneling protocols.  IPsec, SSL/TLS, OpenVPN, PPTP, L2TP, L2TPv3, VPN-Q and MPVPN Trusted VPNs rely on the security of a single provider’s network to protect the traffic.  MPLS and L2F

6. VPN: Security Encryption IPSec Authentication  User/System and Data  AAA Servers (Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting) Firewalls

7. VPN: Tunneling Requires 3 protocols  Carrier Default network protocol  Passenger Original data  Encapsulation GRE, IPSec, L2F, PPTP, L2TP

8. VPN: Encapsulation Figure 1

9. VPN: Tunneling (cont.) Two Basic types of tunneling  Site-to-Site Typically uses GRE  Remote-Access Typically uses PPP

10. VPN: Advantages Cost Effective Greater scalability Easy to add/remove users Mobility Security

11. VPN: Disadvantages Understanding of security issues Unpredictable Internet traffic Difficult to accommodate products from different vendors

12. VPN Demonstration Click on Start – select Network Connections

13. VPN Demonstration In Network Connections on the left hand side there is a link to “Create New Connection” – click on this and a wizard will pop up assisting the user

14. VPN Demonstration Select “Connect to the Network at my Workplace”

15. VPN Demonstration Select “Virtual Private Network Connection”

16. VPN Demonstration Make a name for this connection that you are establishing – to distinguish this connection from other VPN connections that might already be established

17. VPN Demonstration For this demonstration I am trying to connect to my wireless router off campus therefore the IP address that I insert is the IP address for my router which I can find out by running an ipconfig and it is the IP address for your default gateway NOTE: Not all routers will allow users to VPN into it

18. VPN Demonstration Personal preference as to whether or not you want other users to be able to use this VPN connection on this computer

19. VPN Demonstration

21. This is a profile (username and password) that has already been created on your router – which can be created by typing in the IP address of your router in a web browser

22. VPN Demonstration

23. In Start – Run insert the IP address of the computer that you want to access that is connected to the router

24. VPN Demonstration Using the same username and password already established for the router you can connect to this specific computer

25. VPN Demonstration These are only the files that are “shared” on this computer

26. How to Connect to OSU: How to connect to OSU: Dave Sullivan made a helpful TutorialTutorial First on the Engineering Website you have to download the Cisco VPN ClientEngineering Website One must acquire authorization information prior to using the VPN serviceauthorization Once registration is complete you download the appropriate client depending on your operating system; and follow the steps to complete the connection
