Cloud VPN(Virtual Private Network) helps companies transition their VPN services to the cloud. There are two types of VPN services that are available - Remote Access and Site to Site connection.
A VPN appliance is installed on-site in the company network in a Site-to-Site connection. This appliance connects to a virtual VPN endpoint in the cloud. The VPN results in a tunnel between the cloud and the enterprise. This connection doesn’t need the public IP address and acts similar to a physical connection.
Remote Access enables users to connect to machines located elsewhere globally. For example - VPNaaS.
In the connection logic, users install VPN software on their machines and connect to cloud VPN. The cloud VPN forwards the connection to the concerned SaaS application.
