VPN clients that are used to connect remotely to an office network are an example of **private VPNs** This uses a backend VPN server, installed at the office location. Users install a VPN client (often provided by the IT department) or access a website, with an ID created at the backend for users to authenticate their connection. A VPN connection provides you with a different IP address than the one assigned by your Internet provider.
