Nice to know

Is there a negative performance impact using a VPN?

Yes, there can be a negative performance impact when using a VPN (Virtual Private Network). This is because VPNs encrypt and tunnel all network traffic between the client and server, which can add additional overhead and introduce latency into the network connection.

When using a VPN, all traffic must first be encrypted, then transmitted over the VPN tunnel to the VPN server, where it is decrypted and forwarded to its destination. This extra encryption and decryption process can add additional processing time and increase the amount of data that needs to be transmitted, which can result in slower network performance.

What are the advantages of using a VPN to connect to your infrastructure?

VPNs can help improve security, provide remote access to resources, bypass geo-restrictions, protect privacy, and save costs. However, it’s important to keep in mind that VPNs can also have performance impacts and require additional configuration and management, so it’s important to weigh the benefits and drawbacks before implementing a VPN solution.
