Do you know how many of those "obsolete" in my case VPN devices i installed? Hundreds...from CheckPoint (Israel) to Zyxel (Swiss) and Sonicwall (USA).
- upofadown 6y agoNot sure how VPNs fit in here. The devices in question provided privacy, not anonymity.
- nix23 6y agoA VPN in a Enterprise is used for privacy and security NOT anonymity.
- upofadown 6y agoThen those are fundamentally different sorts of devices. Message privacy vs link privacy. Data at rest vs data in flight. You would never use a VPN for the sorts of messaging encryption tasks required by an embassy for instance.

If your link is encrypted you messages are too..from point to point....like you know the fax-encryptor...secure from starting point to the endpoint
