TAILORED FOR YOUR BUSINESS
Site-to-Site VPN types explained
Site-to-Site VPNs come in two forms, designed to fit different business needs. With NordLayer’s flexible security solution, you get both options—ensuring secure and seamless network connectivity for your organization.
Intranet-based VPN
Intranet-based VPNs are part of a Site-to-Site VPN setup, where different teams or offices within the same company are connected over the internet using a shared internal network. In this case, the whole organization uses the same connection, with no external connections needed.
Extranet-based VPN
Alternatively, extranet-based VPNs are part of a Site-to-Site VPN setup that connects different companies over the internet. With numerous secure connections enabled, trusted users outside of the organization can access resources.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Frequently asked questions
The difference between a Site-to-Site VPN and remote access VPN is simple. Site-to-site VPNs provide a secure VPN connection between two or more Local Area Networks (LANs), often in multiple locations. Remote Access VPNs work simultaneously but connect mobile devices to a remote LAN.
Site-to-Site VPNs connect several LANs securely, whereas Point-to-point (PTP) is a traditional VPN protocol that connects particular devices. Unlike Site-to-Site VPN, PTP is considered a legacy VPN technology that is less secure than modern VPN solutions.
You should use a Site-to-Site VPN when you need to securely connect 2 (or more) different remote office locations or cloud networks. It’s the best solution for businesses with distributed offices that need seamless access to shared resources, such as databases, applications, and internal systems.
The pros of a Site-to-Site VPN include secure, encrypted network connection between multiple offices, seamless access to shared resources, and centralized management of connections. The main con is that in order to establish Site-to-Site connections, you need a 3rd party provider.
While NordVPN is designed for individual users, businesses looking for Site-to-Site VPN capabilities can turn to NordLayer, a solution within the NordVPN family.
