Prerequisites
None
Purpose of Class
This class teaches students why Personal VPN Services are important, and what to think about when buying them.
Class Notes
VPN's have been used in corporations for 15 years, but regular people using VPN services is relatively new.
Concept -- Personal VPN's allow you to encrypt your data from being sent from your computer to a VPN Server. This prevents hackers from stealing you information when you access the Internet from a public Wifi.
Types of Encryption used in VPN's
PPTP - Vulnerable
IPSec - Enterprise
SSL -- Ease of use and theoretically "clientless"
When Purchasing VPN Services think about
Cost -- Are you paying PER device or for an account for all devices you own?
Which Devices Can use the Service
Reliability of service and bandwidth that the service can actually provide
Security? If I was a CIA Mastermind or Organized Crime Lord I'd invest a few million to setup "free" VPN services and then mine every bit of traffic that went through them.
