Episode 93 — VPN Types — Site-to-Site, Point-to-Point, and Point-to-Site
In this episode, we examine the primary Virtual Private Network (VPN) types used in cloud connectivity. Site-to-site VPNs link entire networks securely, often for branch-to-headquarters or cloud-to-on-premises connections. Point-to-point VPNs connect two specific endpoints, providing a direct secure tunnel. Point-to-site VPNs allow individual devices to connect securely to a network, often used for remote work scenarios. We explain the operational models, encryption methods, and typical use cases for each.
We also address performance considerations, scalability, and integration with cloud provider VPN gateways. On the Cloud+ exam, recognizing the correct VPN type for a scenario is critical for designing secure and efficient connectivity solutions.
