VPN Server
What is a Virtual VPN server? A Virtual VPN server (aka virtual private network server or virtualized VPN Server) is a type of router that provides hosting and delivery of VPN services. It may also be viewed as an IP Network instance that terminates VPN connections such as Ipsec, OpenVPN and similar. Traditionally, a VPN server is a hardware computing device installed and configured with software that provides virtual Private Network (VPN) service. Patton has decoupled the VPN software from the dedicated hardware using virtualization technology to create a virtualized version of the network function or VNF. The VNF form of the server provides VPN tunnel management, network protection, firewall security, and IPsec router functionality-as well as VoIP security including TLS/SRTP.
