VPN stands for Virtual Private Network (Private is certainly different than Privacy). Even ATM and Frame Relay were considered VPNs, but had no default encryption. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 1:55 | comment | added | Benjamin Dale | Yeah, I'm all about the "P" standing for privacy, and privacy being encryption rather than just logical separation, but each to their own | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 0:56 | comment | added | Mike Pennington | Regarding MPLS and GRE VPNs, a lot depends on the intent of the asker. However, IETF regards MPLS and GRE VPNs as real VPNs; encryption is a different requirement. See the discussion here for a citation from IETF about this debate. | |
| Jun 6, 2019 at 0:50 | comment | added | Benjamin Dale | Good point on ssh - it and OpenVPN are both in the same boat as SSL VPN. I'm going to be contentious, and say I don't really count MPLS and GRE as VPNs since they aren't encrypted. Now I'll sit back and watch the fireworks ; ) | |
