VPN technology is widely used for secure remote access to corporate networks, protecting privacy on public Wi-Fi, and bypassing geographic content restrictions. This index documents VPN providers, protocols, and APIs relevant to the VPN technology landscape including NordVPN, OpenVPN, WireGuard, Tailscale, and cloud provider VPN services.
