What are VPN endpoints?

What will be an ideal response?


Each VPN connection has two endpoints. Endpoints are hardware and/or software components that perform the following: encryption to secure data, authentication to make sure the host requesting the data is an approved user of the VPN, and encapsulation, the inclusion of one data structure inside another data structure. Encapsulation helps protect the integrity of the information being sent. These endpoints could consist of a user's laptop at a remote location and an organization's VPN server (as in teleworking), or they could be two VPN appliances that establish a relatively permanent connection between two distant local area networks.
