Let’s make our lives really simple in the VPN world! In order to explain the concept of encryption, let me talk to you in an encrypted language!!

How does VPN encryption works?

For example, I am about to tell you a secret VPN address, which should be only transparent between us; what would I do? I would use the terminology that is only transparent to you and me and not others! For example, communicating the term VPN by not V-P-N; but saying 22-16-14; and only you and I know the codes!!!! What did I actually do? I ENCRYPTED the term VPN to give it an illegitimate form, and then you DECRYPTED it to make it legible! Or to make it more clearly, it is more similar like emailing executables to each other, by encrypting the valid file extensions! Well, in a VPN ‘s case this encryption is transparent, only to the VPN servers and the client. You can actually make your servers liable to only listen and entertain to the encrypted form of data! In all this drive, the most common question that people ask is where does the encryption actually occur??? Therefore, the encryption has to be performed before the connection is established. Since your data is already encrypted before the connection is established, there is no need for the encryption between the communication lines. How is this encryption performed? Step-by-step procedure of how your data is encrypted will be discussed in the upcoming articles. Till then keep following, and share some good VPN encryption reads with us!
