A Survey of Mobile VPN Technologies
Virtual private network (VPN) is the traditional approach for an end-to-end secure
connection between two endpoints. Most existing VPN solutions are intended for wired
networks with high-speed, highly reliable connections. In a mobile environment, these
network connections are less reliable. This affects traditional VPN performance resulting in
frequent application failure, data loss, and reduced productivity. Mobile VPN bridges the gap
between what users and applications expect from a wired network and the realities of mobile
computing. In this survey, we provide a taxonomy of VPN designs, present a study of existing
mobile VPN solutions, and highlight the advantages and disadvantages and applications of
these methods.
TLS-based VPN are increasingly used to establish a secure communication channel between VPN clients and server. However, they are not designed to handle the mobility VPN clients in efficient…
