Introduction
The VPN network can provide a relatively secure environment for the use of the data. For VoIP field, because of the encryption process, it can bypass the ISP restrictions on SIP packets.
Also devices on the same VPN network can access each other directly through the VPN IP address. Facilitate access between and behind devices, and networking between devices. So except making SIP calls, we could also access the local network. Imagine you need to look up a product information that saved on local SVN server. And you need it to make presentation in the exhibition of next morning. You might hesitate to ask someone help. With VPN access, you can free to do this.
