## 📊 Core Concepts

### 1. VPN Protocol Types

```
VPN Protocol Classification:

1. IPsec (Internet Protocol Security)
   - IKEv2: Key exchange and negotiation
   - ESP: Encryption and authentication
   - AH: Authentication header
   - Transport/Tunnel mode

2. SSL/TLS VPN
   - OpenVPN: Full-featured SSL VPN
   - SSTP: Secure Socket Tunneling Protocol
   - SSL Portal/Tunnel

3. WireGuard
   - Modern cryptography (ChaCha20, Poly1305)
   - Minimal attack surface
   - UDP-based with roaming support

4. Legacy Protocols
   - PPTP: Point-to-Point Tunneling (deprecated)
   - L2TP/IPsec: Layer 2 with IPsec
```

### 2. VPN Architecture

```
VPN Deployment Models:

Remote Access VPN:
[User Device] --[Internet]--> [VPN Gateway] --[Private Network]
- Individual user connectivity
- Mobile workforce support
- Dynamic IP addressing

Site-to-Site VPN:
[Office A] --[VPN Tunnel]--> [Office B]
- Permanent tunnel
- Static routing
- Branch office connectivity

Cloud VPN:
[On-Premise] --[VPN]--> [Cloud Provider]
- Hybrid cloud connectivity
- Multi-cloud integration
```

   - IPsec: UDP 500, 4500 (NAT-T)
   - WireGuard: UDP 51820 (configurable)
   - OpenVPN: UDP/TCP 1194 (configurable)
