Server

What is Server?

It is a device or computer on a network that manages network resources such as network traffic. A single computer can execute several programs at once. A Server, in this case, could refer to the program that is managing resources rather than the entire computer. It provides functionality for other computers and its users called clients. This architecture is called a client-server model. It can provide various services like providing data to other computers, sharing resources among multiple clients, and performing computation for a client.

The computer that makes the request and receives the response from the servers on a local area network (LAN) or on a wide area network (WAN) over the internet. It works as a device which configured to listen to request from the clients on a network. This functionality can exist as a part of the server operating system as installed applications and roles.

These days the server is nothing then the software running on physical computing devices, such servers may be virtual servers. The virtual servers were uses to increase the number of server functions in a single hardware. The virtual servers are run by third-party hardware across the internet in an arrangement called cloud computing.

All the data that flows over the VPN is encrypted. So anyone who steals packets from the VPN will find them unintelligible; only the parties on either end of the VPN are able to decrypt the packets. VPN connections are often called tunnels. Because they provide an isolated pathway from one point to another through the Internet. The only way to gain meaningful access to a VPN tunnel is at either end. Example for VPN Connections VPNs are used for There are two common uses for VPNs: To provide remote workers with secure access to your company network: To do that, you set up a VPN on the router, and then provide your remote workers with the credentials necessary to access the VPN. The remote workers can run a software VPN client on their home computers or laptops to connec...
