== Virtual Private Networks ==
Virtual private networks (VPNs) are communications networks tunneled through the mesh, which are dedicated for a specific group of people. The primary use of VPNs is to create privacy and security for its users, and so they typically use security features such as ego authentication and public key encryption. VPNs are regularly used to mesh mobile offices into a corporate network or mesh people together who work on or contribute a certain project.
Other VPNs—particularly social networks and rep networks—operate with minimal security features, simply serving as a network of specific users within the mesh and making it easier to keep in touch, transfer information, make updates, and so on. Most VPNs come as specialized software suites that run custom environmental software that integrates into the user’s normal mesh interface and AR.
