full tunnel is more secure and is the better option if you are handling data. split-tunnel works with LAN only and is less secure

Split tunnel deals with LAN while full tunnel covers everything

VPN hides your ip adress

# data[].attributes.body
Split tunneling lets you route some of your device or app traffic through the encrypted VPN tunnel while other devices or apps access the internet directly.

SSTP stands for Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol that provides a transport level of security.

# data[].attributes.body
Split tunnel only deals with LAN data while full tunnel covers all data including LAN and others. A VPN is used to change locations, hide IP addresses and secure connections.

# data[].attributes.body
modern VPN's allow you to send LAN traffic through the tunnel while all other traffic ignores the tunnel- this is a split tunnel which is most common today.

# data[].attributes.body
SSTP- Stands for Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol that provides transport level security.
PPTP- Stands for Point to point Tunneling protocol and is a networking standard for connecting to VPNs.

# data[].attributes.body
Different types of VPN connections:

PPTP -  use 128-bit key (least secure)

L2TP - use 168-bit keys, 3DES,  two level of authentication (more secure than PPTP)

SSTP and OpenVPN - use 256-bit key and authenticate 2048-bit key certificates (most secure)

# data[].attributes.body
Full tunnel is the better option if you handle confidential data. It is also better to use full tunnel if you are connecting from a network you do not trust, like any local area.
Split tunnel may be necessary if you need to access both local resources and OSU resources at the same time, but it is less secure.
L2TP-good tunneling protocol but does not encrypt data

SSTP-encrypts over SSL using port 443
PPTP-uses TCP port 1723
site to site use two vpn servers in two different locations to form gateways

# data[].attributes.body
Split tunnel only sends Lan traffic through the tunnel while full tunnel sends all traffic (the internet traffic).
VPN concentrators insert the local traffic in internet packets and sends them through the tunnel.

# data[].attributes.body
VPN Connection types
full tunnel will route and encrypt all data through the VPN
A split tunnel  allows you to use your VPN for some things but not use it for others

# data[].attributes.body
Full Tunnel is secure and better if you connect to a network you do not trust. Split tunnels are much less secure than a Full Tunnel it can be necessary if you need access to local resources.

# data[].attributes.body
A VPN disguises your IP address when you use the internet making its location  invisible to everyone.

SSTP works by establishing a secure connection between a VPN Client and a VPN server.

a PPTP transports all your online data and traffic, securing it with its encryption at the same time.

VPN (Virtual Private Network)-this will allow your IP address location to not be visible to anyone.

Split Tunneling-This specific method is used with LAN, while doing so it gives you the user a secure connection.

# data[].attributes.body
A site-to-site virtual private network (VPN) is a connection between two or more networks, such as a corporate network and a branch office network.

# data[].attributes.body
A VPN gives the user privacy by allowing them to access a private network while on a public connection.

Full tunnel is the traditional way in which user creates an encrypted tunnel, but does not have access to the LANs resources.

Split Tunnel allows the user to access the network through the encrypted tunnel and retain the LANs resources as oppose to Full Tunnel.

# data[].attributes.body
A successful VPN connection gives your remote system an IP address on your LAN

VPNs have gotten widely popular due to there ability to move confidential data securely over a wide open network

# data[].attributes.body
With VPN split tunneling you can reduce to total traffic load of a vpn.

A site-to-site VPN provides a more secure connection for corporate networks to communicate with its remote offices through a single network.

# data[].attributes.body
-  site-to-site VPN is when you want to connect two sites to each other across the public internet, but you want to send all of the data between those sites in an encrypted form.
-  Host-to-host VPNs, and they’re usually all software-based.

SSTP vs PPTP vs L2TP

SSTP: uses secure socket layer (port 443) tunneling which creates the most secure connection  between the server and the client. May be able to connect where other protocols cannot due to use of port 443

PPTP used  encryption to create a good connection using TCP but it was not quite as secure as SSTP. It is, however, very compatible with a very wide range of systems

L2TP uses network layer 2 (as the name implies) for the VPN connection. It can also be used by many Operating Systems, but runs the chance of being blocked by firewalls.

# data[].attributes.body
SSTP: (Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol) SSTP works by establishing a secure connection between a VPN Client and a VPN server. Basically, the protocol creates a secure “tunnel” between the client and the server, and all the data and traffic that passes through that tunnel is encrypted.

# data[].attributes.body
There are VPNs that can use TLS and other VPNs can use IPSEC.

VPNs can let you connect a single single system to an existing LAN (remote access) or you can connect 2 complete LANs  (site to site).

# data[].attributes.body
Full Tunnel- When connected with this it is not possible to access local networks. Internet connection is used on the LAN.
Split tunnel- divides up ethernet traffic between traffic going to and from. It allows the VPN a smaller ethernet connection. Primary goal is to perform internet functions such as browsing movies

# data[].attributes.body
ESP or Encapsulating Security Payload, can provide protection for the IP packet. but ESP doesn't have to be used due to the fact it encrypts the IP header, this can cause problems with the router for it because it can't read the header.
An AH (Authentication Header) protocol can provide authentication and integrity. This can be used on entire IP packets that include the header and the data payload.

1. Split tunneling in reference to VPNs is when you use the vpn to encrypt some of your traffic, but also allowing to not go through the VPN and just access the internet.

2. Site to Site VPNs are usually used by bigger corporations so they can link together at different locations or sites.

# data[].attributes.body
Full Tunnel is more secure and is better if you are connecting to a network you do not trust.
Split Tunnels is less secure but it might be necessary if you  need access to local  resources.
A VPN concentrator is a network device that creates a secure VPN connection and delivers messages.
Site-to-site is a a connection between 2 or more networks.

# data[].attributes.body
Full Tunnel is the traditional method when using the VPN. Although it does not allow you to use LAN resources.

The Split Tunnel method allows you to have a secure connection while also using LAN resources as well.

Generic Routing Encapsulation is the tunnel being created when the user is involved with the PPTP.

# data[].attributes.body
VPNs  are able to connect a LAN from a different location with your personal device or with another LAN.

Split tunnels are good for local connects while Full tunnel is good for sketchy connections that require more security.

# data[].attributes.body
SSTP is a secure socket tunneling protocol that uses a VPN to PPP traffic

SSTP operates using TCP and uses port number 443

PPTP

Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)

IPSEC

Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP) protocol.

Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol (ISAKMP)

VPN Concentrator:

To make a connection, at least one system must have a VPN server, more commonly called a VPN concentrator, that's designed to accept remote connections from either a single system (for remote access) or another VPN concentrator (for site-to-site).

# data[].attributes.body
Site to site VPN generally do not disconnect and are considered "Always on".

Before you could only  connect to the VPN and nothing else, so that meant if your computer was connected to a VPN and opened a Web browser, your computer went through the VPN connection and then went back out and used the Internet connection on your LAN. This is called a Full tunnel.

Current VPN technologies enable you to configure a VPN connection to send only LAN traffic through the tunnel. All other traffic ignores the tunnel. This is a split tunnel and is the most common type of tunnel.
