Virtual Private Networks (VPNs) have become one of the cornerstones of secure communications over the internet. VPNs have become an established method to ensure privacy, protect data, and are becoming very popular among internet users. However, there has been a lot of confusion around what VPNs can and cannot do.

MPLS cost reduction is the target of the emerging SD-WAN market that is bustling with solutions looking to take the corporate wide area network to a whole new level. MPLS isnt encrypted by default: MPLS relies on the carrier private network for security because the data doesnt flow on the public Internet.
