Frequently asked questions
What are the types of Cloud VPN?
- Remote access — Connects individual users to specific host networks. This connection is temporary rather than permanent and is used by remote employees accessing files in the central hub. Often used to facilitate remote workers.
- Site-to-site — An encrypted connection between two networks, creating a shared network, or connection to a central hub. Site-to-site VPNs work best when deployed on-site, with every employee is sharing lots of data.
As they perform the same function, businesses will select the type of VPN connection that best suits their individual needs.
What types of tunneling protocols are offered by a Cloud VPN?
NordLayer Cloud VPN offers 3 types of tunneling (encryption) protocols:
- IPSec/IKEv2 — A dependable, stable option – especially when moving between different networks.
- OpenVPN (UDP) — A good combination of speed and security, but may not work on all networks.
- OpenVPN (TCP) — A secure and reliable protocol — although slower than UDP, TCP works on the vast majority of networks.
- NordLynx — A wireguard VPN protocol — lightweight, faster, more secure than OpenVPN.
