VPN Connections

VPN Connections is a transmission service based on network tunneling technology that enables connectivity between local data centers and Tencent Cloud resources. It helps you quickly establish a secure and reliable encrypted channel over the Internet. VPN Connections features simple configuration, real-time cloud configuration updates, and high reliability, with gateway availability reaching 99.95%, ensuring stable and continuous business connections. This helps you easily implement complex business scenarios such as geo-disaster recovery and hybrid cloud deployment. Tencent Cloud VPN Connections are provided in compliance with relevant national laws and regulations and do not provide Internet access functionality. As a mature core secure interconnection product, Network-based Tunneling Technology serves as the foundational support for establishing connections, building a reliable transmission foundation through the IKE protocol and IPsec encryption. The Encrypted Tunnel encrypts transmitted data end-to-end, ensuring data security in the Internet environment. The Peer Gateway records the public IP of the VPN gateway on the local IDC side, working in conjunction with the Tencent Cloud VPN gateway to establish a dedicated communication link. In-cloud Disaster Recovery leverages the stable connection channel to achieve data synchronization between on-premises and cloud environments, preventing service interruptions caused by unexpected events. The Secure Tunnel, through encryption and isolation design, thoroughly blocks the risk of data leakage. Whether for building elastic hybrid clouds, backing up critical data off-site, or deploying disaster recovery for key business applications in the cloud, VPN Connections can become the core network support for enterprise digital transformation through the professionalism of Network-based Tunneling Technology, the security of the Encrypted Tunnel, the adaptability of the Peer Gateway, the reliability of In-cloud Disaster Recovery, and the protective nature of the Secure Tunnel. Furthermore, the deep synergy between Network-based Tunneling Technology and the Encrypted Tunnel significantly enhances the security level and transmission stability of VPN Connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: As the core underlying support, how does Network-based Tunneling Technology synergize with the Encrypted Tunnel and the Peer Gateway to support the core needs of VPN Connections, In-cloud Disaster Recovery, and the Secure Tunnel? Where are its technical advantages reflected?

 

A: Centered on "Protocol Encapsulation + Secure Transmission," Network-based Tunneling Technology provides foundational support for two core capabilities, solidifying the service base of VPN Connections. Firstly, through the combination of the IKE protocol and IPsec encryption protocol, it constructs an Encrypted Tunnel, enabling secure data transmission between the local IDC and Tencent Cloud resources. Simultaneously, the Peer Gateway, as the logical mapping of the local gateway, works with the Tencent Cloud VPN gateway to make the transmission path of Network-based Tunneling Technology more precise, providing a stable link for data synchronization in In-cloud Disaster Recovery. Secondly, it empowers the Secure Tunnel to achieve deep isolation and protection. Network-based Tunneling Technology encapsulates data and transmits it through the Encrypted Tunnel, avoiding interference and attacks from the public network environment. The Peer Gateway precisely matches the communication counterpart, ensuring controlled access to the Secure Tunnel and safeguarding the privacy of data transmission during the In-cloud Disaster Recovery process. Technical advantages are evident in two aspects: First, "Secure & Controllable + Stable Transmission" – the synergy between Network-based Tunneling Technology and the Encrypted Tunnel achieves end-to-end data encryption, and the Peer Gateway ensures connection accuracy, allowing the security level of VPN Connections to meet the needs of highly sensitive businesses. Second, "Flexible Adaptation + Reliable Disaster Recovery" – it supports the access of multiple Peer Gateways while providing stable tunnel transmission to support data synchronization for In-cloud Disaster Recovery, preventing business interruptions.

Q: What is the core synergistic value between In-cloud Disaster Recovery and the Secure Tunnel? How can Network-based Tunneling Technology and the Peer Gateway be leveraged to strengthen the competitiveness of VPN Connections?

 

A: Their core synergistic value lies in the dual guarantee of "Data Security + Business Continuity," addressing the enterprise pain points of "high risk in data backup and difficulty in business disaster recovery." In-cloud Disaster Recovery focuses on data backup and business restoration, preventing unexpected losses through data synchronization. The Secure Tunnel focuses on protecting the transmission process, ensuring data does not leak during interconnection. Their combination elevates VPN Connections from a "simple connectivity tool" to an integrated "Secure Disaster Recovery Solution." Their synergy with Network-based Tunneling Technology and the Peer Gateway significantly enhances the competitiveness of VPN Connections: Network-based Tunneling Technology provides a stable transmission vehicle for In-cloud Disaster Recovery, ensuring the security of the data synchronization process through the Encrypted Tunnel to prevent backup data leakage. The Peer Gateway accurately connects to the local IDC, making the data synchronization path for In-cloud Disaster Recovery clearer. Meanwhile, the adaptability of Network-based Tunneling Technology allows the Secure Tunnel to flexibly connect to multiple environments, meeting the needs of different disaster recovery scenarios. This combination of "Secure Data Backup + Transmission Process Protection + Stable Tunnel Support + Precise Gateway Adaptation" enables VPN Connections to meet both the interconnection needs of enterprise hybrid cloud deployment and support In-cloud Disaster Recovery for core businesses, giving it stronger market competitiveness.

Q: How does the Encrypted Tunnel address the core security pain points of VPN Connections? What benefits does its synergy with VPN Connections and the Peer Gateway bring to Network-based Tunneling Technology and In-cloud Disaster Recovery?

A: The core value of the Encrypted Tunnel lies in "End-to-End Encryption + Risk Isolation," solving the traditional public network interconnection pain points of "easy data leakage and vulnerable transmission to tampering." It uses the IPsec protocol to encrypt transmitted data, ensuring data transmission security over the Internet. Its synergy with the two core components brings significant gains to scenario-specific capabilities: Working with VPN Connections and the Peer Gateway, the Encrypted Tunnel leverages Network-based Tunneling Technology for data encapsulation and transmission. The Peer Gateway ensures the legitimacy of the connection endpoint for the Encrypted Tunnel, preventing unauthorized access. For Network-based Tunneling Technology, the Encrypted Tunnel makes the security of tunnel transmission more prominent, upgrading it from a "mere channel" to a "secure encrypted link." For In-cloud Disaster Recovery, the Encrypted Tunnel ensures that backup data transmitted between on-premises and cloud is not stolen or tampered with during transit. Simultaneously, the stable adaptation of the Peer Gateway makes data synchronization more efficient. Combined with the low-latency characteristics of Network-based Tunneling Technology, it enables near-real-time data backup, enhancing the reliability of In-cloud Disaster Recovery. This synergy highlights the security value of Network-based Tunneling Technology, makes the risk prevention and control for In-cloud Disaster Recovery more comprehensive, and establishes VPN Connections as the preferred solution for secure enterprise interconnection and disaster recovery backup.
