A VPN connection provides security and performance similar to a dedicated link (for example, a leased line), but at much lower cost. W WAN A wide-area network provides a connection over a large geographic area, such as a country or the whole world. The bandwidth depends on need and cost, but is usually much lower than for a LAN.
