Virtual Private Network is a type of private network that uses public telecommunication, such as the Internet, instead of leased

lines to communicate.

Became popular as more employees worked in

remote locations and through VPN they can be connected .

Several network protocols have become popular as a result of VPN developments:

PPTP L2TP IPsec

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a protocol (set of communication rules) that allows corporations to extend their own corporate network through private "tunnels" over the public Internet. Effectively, a corporation uses a wide-area network as a single large local area network. A company no longer needs to lease its own lines for wide-area communication but can securely use the public networks by implementing VPN.

Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is just an extension of the PPTP. It is used by an ISP to provide the VPN over the Internet. It is a tunneling protocol used to support VPNs. L2TP uses packet-switched network connections to provide the end to end delivery of secure packets. It merges the best features of two other tunneling protocols: PPTP from Microsoft and L2F(Layer 2 Forwarding Protocol)from Cisco Systems.
