All of you probably know that the most important thing for Internet users (surfers) is SAFETY and ANONYMITY. Information traveling on the Internet usually takes a circuitous route through several intermediary computers to reach any destination computer. The actual route your information takes to reach its destination is not under your control. As your information travels on Internet computers, any intermediary computer has the potential to eavesdrop and make copies. An intermediary computer could even deceive you and exchange information with you by misrepresenting itself as your intended destination.

A virtual private network (VPN) is a private communications network often used within a company, or by several companies or organizations, to communicate confidentially over a publicly accessible network. VPN message traffic can be carried over a public networking infrastructure (e.g. the Internet) on top of standard protocols, or over a service provider's private network with a defined Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the VPN customer and the VPN service provider.

Secure SSL VPNs use cryptographic tunneling protocols to provide the intended confidentiality (blocking snooping and thus Packet sniffing), sender authentication (blocking identity spoofing), and message integrity (blocking message alteration) to achieve privacy. When properly chosen, implemented, and used, such techniques can provide secure communications over unsecured networks. This has been the usually intended purpose for VPN for some years. For a very long time, people in information security have thought IPSec is THE VPN and SSL is for secure online banking. While SSL has traditionally been used for Web site security purposes, SSL's applications reach wider than just web proxying and application security. Traditional SSL VPN started off with products that were more like SSL gateways instead of true VPNs. These products cannot be really termed as VPN but more like "Secure Remote Application Access"
