You are having the Apple Mac desktop computer system and you want to setup the VPN in this desktop computer system. The VPN setup process is the time consuming and i will not advise you to do it by yourself if you do not know about the networking. VPN stands for the Virtual Private Network. It is the way of creating the remote connection between two machines.

The VPN was used by the companies which wanted to give the access to the staff of their company to the remote server access to their system. They should access the company server remotely without caring about the black hat hacker or malicious programming. But now this can be done at your home also if you are having two or more than two systems.
