Hi:
I have found some information that consider SSL and SSH like VPN's. I
always had tought VPN is a encrypted communication channel, but a layer 3
(OSI model) communication chanel.
If the definition of VPN is "A secure communication channel over a public
network", SSL and SSH (layer 7 protocols) are a VPN.
What are your opinions?, Is my definition of VPN wrong??
I hope your comments
