It is redundant to encapsulate twice with TCP. You get all the benefits that TCP provides by encapsulating with TCP just once. The second TCP encapsulation will just add an additional and unnecessary network overhead. Look it up for more details. HTH

Although VPNs offer excellent solutions for securely connecting to remote networks, VPNs also introduce a risk: At the office, the IT personnel are responsible for computer security. They can enforce group policies, ensure that everyone is running company approved anti-virus software, etc. At home, the company often has zero control over the computer being used to establish a VPN connection. That home computer could be compromised with a key-logger, etc. For such a connection, the company should be purchasing the home system, and should be enforcing the same conditions on that computer, as though that computer was in the office. When the employee parts ways with the company, then that home computer, which is company property, goes back to the company.
If a company allows you to connect to their VPN server, they better limit those connections only to work laptops, which they do have control over. The place I worked at, basically gave everyone their own laptop, which they used both at home and at work. You come to work, connect it to extenal displays and peripherals, and use it like a normal desktop. Then at the end of the work day, you take it home with you. So there is no "office machine" / "home machine" distinction, it's just your work laptop.
That's the reason why the IT company where I work provide laptops to its employees. And as far as I know is common procedure for most big IT companies.
You either hand out laptops (if you're rich) or (if you're not that rich) you treat those home PCs as BYOD's - let them into a specific subnet and only open specific ports from there etc.
@@SMJSmoK With the upsurge of remote requirements like this, we had some large NFP's who couldn't exactly fork over dozens of laptops on the drop of a dime (plus availability right now is scarce). One possible solution we were theorizing was to deploy a standardized VM - essentially a domain-joined guest image that you do have full GPO control over. It mitigates many (but admittedly not all) of the concerns of the host system being compromised.
There are also virtual desktops that you can use. Your home PC becomes a "dumb" terminal running a client program connecting to a corporate virtualization server. A 2-factor authentication (RSA SecurID) is still used just like a VPN.
One quibble... Message Authentication Codes (not to be confused with the MAC in 'MAC address') are not digital signatures, though they do usually use hashes. MACs are what's used to make sure the messages are not modified in transit.
@@Demonslay335 - I consider a feature of a 'signature' to be non-repudiatable. This is not the case with HMAC. The recipient knows the HMAC key and could forge a message that appeared to be from you.
reverse proxy is also a more flexible way to scale access to corp web resources securely (well, as long as you keep up with latest web security standards and have a per client machine certificate)
So im guessing you guys are going to cover the different types of vpn. such as pptp, sstp, l2tp, ipsec / ike. as well as other remote access systems such as windows remote desktop protocol (and gateways), virtual network computing (and their gateways). the diffrences, which is better for what application. if so i can see you getting a lot more views, as you will have many technicians, engineers and the few manager who understood it, using the videos to get funding to implement them.
I've measured the performance of VPN and ssh, and ssh is about 6 times faster than the vpn we use at work (at least in one direction), so all I use the vpn for is to setup an ssh tunnel from work to home, then I run the x2go remote desktop over ssh.
I'm not sure how you had a conversation about how VPN works and didn't talk about GRE or IPSec, but hey, I guess this was intended for a more general audience.
can you also explain in a video how ssh with port forwarding will be working for such a scenario? And under what conditions that is used for remote access rather than using VPNs?
A question we often get asked is "why have the vpn layer, lets just be on the internet and do everything there without the VPN". I dunno, kinda running out of answers on that, other than extra layer of identification.
That's really the better way of doing it, except that you've probably got things on your network that aren't sufficiently protected against attackers because they were designed and implemented with the expectation that everyone with access to the network isn't malicious. These things should be redesigned anyway, because there may be malware on people's computers at times that could attack your unprotected systems, but there are probably services on your network you haven't thought to redesign, like printers and scanners and video conference devices that just trust any device that can reach them.
@@iabervon I think that is "computer security" oversell. I don't think printer services are vulnerable to efforts to hijack video and audio, and there's already very simple measures to keep even specific print jobs from being hijacked. You have to separate possible vulnerabilities from actual real-world vulnerabilities, and even then prioritize. I'm not scared of Postscript viruses that only attack printers. Don't be the security expert who cries wolf.
He showed TCP packets wrapped in UDP. As far as I know, UDP sends packets without confirming their arrival, while TCP keeps trying until packets are confirmed to have reached their destination. There seems to be a conflict in that wrapping, if I understand correctly. How does it work?
By not conflicting. If you have 2 protocols that both think they are responsible for resending packets, throttling traffic and so on, things will be done multiple times. Imagine sitting in a bus where each single passenger thinks they have to hit the brakes to avoid collisions...
With no confirmation, it'd seem the TCP sender would hit some loop of trying to send some packets and failing unless the UDP sender somehow responds to those... My guess: the one sending UDP just responds to the TCP sender with ACK and confirms "everything went fine" regardless of whether or not those UDP packets made it to their destination.
Basically, when using a proxy, you are still operating on your real IP, but you hand off network traffic for a specific service over to another server to complete for you. With a VPN, system wide you operate under a totally different IP address, where everything you do on your network is totally encrypted to your ISP. Both of these methods can mask your location to others, but a VPN is needed to protect your privacy.
A Proxy will redirect your web traffic while a VPN redirects AND encrypts your traffic. A VPN can also create a direct, encrypted tunnel to a host network, such as an internal network at some company or government organization, whereas a Proxy doesn't create direct tunnels to private networks. That's the simple answer.
A proxy doesn't even have to redirect packets if not necessary, that's what usually happens when you surf the internet from your workplace. It just let you go thru, if it's not on a black list. A proxy is much faster and requires much less resources because it doesn't redirect unless you are looking for specific resources, and doesn't mask the communication. Your resource is going to respond using your IP, not the proxy's.

I like the video because you’re explaining how a VPN works but I do wish you had spoken about the risk of giving a remote user network level access in a corporate use case. What if the user introduces malware into the network via VPN? VPN’s have had their day... time to move away from this type of approach for non admin users. Use a dual app proxy based architecture and improve the security posture and still prove access to private applications hosted in the dc.
Is there a way you can hide/disguise what you are sending through a VPN? You mentioned patters where it could determine if it's a video call or an http request.
Yes, you can send a constant data stream in both directions. The outside observer wouldn't see if it's dummy data or real data inside. However, all internet connections are sized for interlacing traffic from/to multiple sources. So multiple people hogging their maximum bandwidth constantly would clog the network quickly.
I still don't understand why you would go through all of this trouble, as opposed to just encrypting the data and sending it over tcp over ip. Why does it need to be wrapped up inside another packet like this. Couldn't students just access school data by connecting through a secure TCP line?
Basically for the same reason manufacturing companies put their machines into big buildings with access control on the doors instead of putting them out in the open and having a password on each machine's control panel.
What has happened to me quite a lot is that I would connect to my workplace via VPN in the morning, and then forget to disconnect after end of work. Now my employer knows all the dirty sites I visit.
