OVERVIEW
What is Cloud VPN?
A cloud virtual private network (Cloud VPN) creates encrypted tunnels between remote users and corporate networks by leveraging data center infrastructure. The solution works through cloud VPN gateways, safeguarding online network channels used to exchange data and assets. This ensures secure remote access to your business applications, data, and files—whether they're cloud-based or hosted on-premises.

Classic VPNs use a single tunnel, making them simpler and more cost-effective for smaller setups or less critical workloads.
