Frequently asked questions

VPN logs are records generated by VPN devices that tracks your user connections, authentication, session duration, traffic, errors, and security events. Network-to-network VPNs use certificates, while client-to-network VPNs use user authentication like usernames and passwords. VPNs use protocols like Internet Protocol Security (IPSec), OpenVPN with secure sockets layer (SSL), or Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) for encryption. VPN log plays a vital role in monitoring network activity, troubleshooting issues, and ensuring compliance with regulations.

VPN monitoring involves continuous tracking of firewalls and VPN devices to ensure private networks are secure from hackers. It also involves scrutinizing their availability, health, performance, and latency. Through vigilant monitoring of VPN traffic, you can ensure that data sent across your network remains encrypted and is swiftly transmitted. It also involves identifying major resource users and monitoring bandwidth usage.
