Virtual Private Networks For Dummies

it was a great price. its a great product. i had fast service. i would recommend this item to others

The book is good as are all Dummies books but it is a 2000 edition and a lot has changed with VPN, especially with security and I will need a more current version sometime.

This book is for individuals with an IT or telecommunications background

Dummies book are awesome for this dummy. Explained in plain English.

Good for IT people but A bit too technical for layman

As part of the For Dummies series, this book delivers what it sets out to do: provide an introduction to the technically complex world of VPNs. I searched other titles and found them all starting at a higher level of competence than I possessed. This book provides the beginning primer that leaves me ready to move to those other available volumes. This book focuses upon security issues (the author is a security specialist), but also provides useful historical information, steps to plan, implement and test your VPN, and illustrative case studies of those who have been there before. The book also includes helpful appendices about other available resources (a buyer's guide), and even includes hints on how to justify a VPN to your boss...

I was really hoping for something a little more more up to date, but since nothing ever changes in the world of computing and the internet, I suppose that a First Printing of a 1999 book would be just as useful today as it was back then. Pardon my TIC. (Tongue In Cheek)

Well - I still do not have my own Private Virtual Network....
