A site-to-site VPN connects two or more locations over a shared IPsec connection. This type of VPN is often used by organizations with multiple offices or branch locations. Each location has its own router that is configured with an IPsec tunnel to the other sites. Traffic between locations is encrypted and routed through the shared IPsec tunnel.
A client-to-site VPN allows individual users, or clients, to connect to an organization’s internal network from a remote location using a securely encrypted tunnel. Client software must be installed on each user’s computer before they can access the organizations network. Once connected, all traffic between the client and Internal network is encrypted ensuring that sensitive data stays private even when traversing public networks like the Internet.
