This document provides information about virtual private networks (VPNs). It discusses that VPNs create encrypted connections over less secure networks like the internet. There are two main types of VPNs: remote access VPNs that allow users to securely connect to private networks, and site-to-site VPNs that connect networks of geographically separate offices. Common VPN protocols include IPSec, L2TP, and PPTP. VPNs provide benefits such as security, remote access, file sharing, anonymity and bypassing filters. However, VPNs can also cause performance issues, legality concerns if content is censored, and loss of privacy if providers track activity. Popular VPN services used in India include ExpressVPN, NordVPN, Private
A VPN (Virtual Private Network) extends a private network across a public network, such as the
Internet.
A VPN is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide
remote offices or individual users with secure access to their organization's network. A VPN ensures
privacy through security procedures and tunneling protocols such as the Layer Two Tunneling Protocol
(L2TP). Data is encrypted at the sending end and decrypted at the receiving end.

Abstract
Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) are beneficial to a company to create secure connections within, and remotely. However, establishing VPN is a complex task that requires making choices on what type of VPN and what VPN technologies to use. There are two types of VPN, but each type serves a different purpose. Further, establishing these types of VPNs require different hardware and software. Therefore, it is important to understand what is required for the type of VPN that one intends to establish. Above all, security is a major concern for VPNs. In addition to enjoying the benefits of VPN companies want to have their connection secure. This means ensuring data confidentiality so that the sent data is seen by the authorized users only. Data integrity defines that the data sent over the network is not altered or tampered with, and authentication entails users of the network to verify their identity. Different protocols provide different aspects of security. In addition, to set up a VPN one should choose the most appropriate protocol that offers the desired security elements. Therefore this paper explores VPN types, hardware and software required for the different types of VPNs and the VPN topologies. The paper starts with an introduction which is followed by a detailed discussion of VPN and the VPN types namely; the remote access VPN and the site to site VPN. VPN technologies continue within the paper and discusses how VPN meets the confidentiality, integrity and availability factors. Under the VPN technologies a more detailed discussion is provided for the IP Sec and GRE tunnelling and SSL VPN.

Secure VPN ConnectionsIntroduction
The world is changing rapidly every day, more so in the technology industry. Businesses are now forced to cope with regional concerns in addition to their local ones. Many businesses are forced to consider the global markets and logistics. These organizations have established branches in different regions of the country or the world. Additionally, these companies need to be secure, fast, connected, and able to communicate effectively.
Until recently, communication between distant branches has been done using leased lines in a Wide Area Network (WAN) form of connection. Leased lines used have ranged from optical carrier-3 which has a speed of 155Mbps or ISDN with a speed of 144Kbps (Comer, 2015). These WAN networks have been advantageous in that the security, performance and reliability resulting in high proficiency. However, setting up and maintaining WAN networks over a large area using leased lines is expensive. Further, leased lines are not viable in terms of mobility .

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

2. ABOUT VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) is a technology that
creates a safe and encrypted connection over a less
secure network, such as the internet. VPN technology
was developed as a way to allow remote users and
branch offices to securely access corporate applications
and other resources. To ensure safety, data travels
through secure tunnels and VPN users must use
authentication methods -- including passwords,
tokens and other unique identification methods -- to
gain access to the VPN.
3. TYPES OF VPN
There are two basic types of VPN-
Remote Access VPN- It allows a user to connect to a private
network and avail its services and resources securely. The
connection between the user and the private network
happens through the internet and the connection is secure
and private. It is useful for business as well as home users.
Site to Site VPN- It is also called as router-to-router VPN
and is mostly used in corporate businesses. Companies,
located at different geographical locations connect to the
network of one office location to the network of another
4. office location. When networks of the multiple
offices of the same company are connected using
site-to-site VPN, it is called as intranet based VPN.
When companies use site-to-site VPN to connect to
the office of different company, it is called as
extranet based VPN. Basically, a site-to-site VPN
creates a virtual bridge between the networks at
geographically distant offices and connects them
through the internet and maintain a secure and
private communication between the networks.
5. TYPES OF VPN PROTOCOLS
Internet Protocol Security or IPSec- Internet Protocol
Security or IPSec is used to secure Internet communication
across an IP network. IPSec secures Internet Protocol
communication by authenticating the session and encrypts
each data packet during the connection.
IPSec operates in two modes, Transport mode and
Tunneling mode, to protect data transfer between two
different networks. The transport mode encrypts the
message in the data packet and the tunneling mode
encrypts the entire data packet. IPSec can also be used with
other security protocols to enhance the security system.
6. Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP):L2TP or Layer 2
Tunneling Protocol is a tunneling protocol that is usually
combined with another VPN security protocol like IPSec to
create a highly secure VPN connection. L2TP creates a
tunnel between two L2TP connection points and IPSec
protocol encrypts the data and handles secure
communication between the tunnel.
Point – to – Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP): PPTP or
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol creates a tunnel and
encapsulates the data packet. It uses a Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) to encrypt the data between the
connection. PPTP is one of the most widely used VPN
protocol and has been in use since the time of Windows 95.
Apart from Windows, PPTP is also supported on Mac and
Linux.
7. ADVANTAGES OF VPN
• Enriched Security- When you connect to a network like
the VPN, the data is kept secured and encrypted. In this
way, the information is kept away from the hacker’s eyes.
• Remote Control- In case of a company, the advantage of
having a VPN is that the information can be accessed even
from home or any other place. That’s why VPN can increase
productivity within a company.
• Share files- A VPN service can be used if you have a
8. group that needs to share data for an extended period.
• Online Anonymity- Through a VPN you can browse the web
in complete anonymity. Compared to hide IP software or web
proxies, the advantage of a VPN service is that it allows access
to both web applications and websites in complete
anonymity.
• Unblock websites and bypass filters- VPNs are great for
accessing blocked websites or for bypassing internet filters.
That is why there is an increased number of VPN services
used in countries where internet censorship is applied.
9. Change IP address- If you need an IP address from
another country, the VPN can provide it.
Better performance- Bandwidth and efficiency of the
network can generally be increased once a VPN solution
is implemented.
Reduce Costs- Once a VPN network is created, the
maintenance cost is very low. More than that, if you opt
for a service provider, the network setup and surveillance
is no more a concern.
10.
11. DISADVANTAGES OF VPN
Performance Issues- If you are using a VPN service, it may
create a problem while taking to the website one wants to get
access. The VPN service connects the user to a private
network. Some Virtual Private Networks might take a longer
time to load the website which is to be accessed. This is the
most common disadvantage which may be seen in using a
VPN service.
Matter of legality- The use of Virtual Private Networks
(VPNs) may not be legal in a country. Local organizations
and companies may face the problems of censorship to a
particular website. This is mainly due to the absence of direct
control over the Internet while
12. Using a VPN. So a reliability of a VPN comes under
question. However, it is not illegal in India as there is not
any specific law regarding VPN.
VPN might intrude in one’s online activity and use his
data- Some VPN providers might ask for data in exchange
of service. There is no complete protection of your online
browsing as it can be tracked by the VPN service providers.
Even though a VPN can hide the real IP address and
remove internet restrictions, but there is no security of
one’s online browsing. So the care must be taken while
using a free or a low cost VPN.
13. Difficulty in its Set-Up:- It might not be very difficult for
Individual users to use a VPN service which can simply
be achieved by downloading it in the form of any app or
software. But companies may find it difficult to set-up a
virtual private network over their premises which may ,
in result, bring complexity to their network connections
and affect each device used in the companies.
Add more costs- VPN is a premium service which is not
available free. If one wants to use a VPN router, he will
also need an additional router hardware with it. There
are a lot of private connections but they are generally not
reliable and have lots of limitations.
14. VPNs in India
How does an Indian VPN work?
If you are living in India and plan to travel to any part of
the world, you can connect back to your home
network. You can connect back to home with your
family and friends. This means that if you are an
Indian living in any part of the world, can securely and
privately get access to internet. Some of the frequently
used VPNs in India are-
ExpressVPN
NordVPN
15. PrivateVPN
IPVanish
ProtonVPN
The above mentioned VPNs in India provide more
than a thousand servers and locations with respective
average speeds, allow torrents and number of
connections at the same time with supported systems
like MacOS, Windows, Android, iOs and windows
Phone. So VPNs
16. Case Law
Internet Service Providers vs. UOI (2005):-
" We observed that though VPN is being defined and discussed by
both the parties, on access through Internet as well as on direct
leased line. The Respondent mentioned that the VPN provided
on direct leased line by ISPs is not allowed. This stand of the
DOT we accept because by basic definition of ISP, it has to be
only Internet based activity. License of ISP permits them the
activity concerned with access of Internet and use of its content
for IT enabled services. As rightly contended by DOT, VPN was
not allowed as a part of ISP license, it is fair for us, therefore, to
hold that it becomes a separate service. The quantum of entry fee
and revenue share to be charged for a separate service from the
service provider would require the recommendations of TRAI as
per Sec 11 (1)(a)(i)(ii) of TRAI Act.”
