What is the difference between RDP & VPN

[Ivy Afton]

VPNs permit customers to access secure networks whereas RDP grants remote access to a specific computer.

[Jake_J]

Yes, a VPN will give you access to a network while a remote desktop or RDP will give you control of a complete computer.

[Colton Abbe]

Which one is better?

[Aiden]

VPNs are smaller private networks that run on top of bigger public networks, whereas Remote Desktops allow users to control computers remotely.

[Jake_J]

Do you all know? The RDP protocol is used by hackers to gain access to host computers and networks to install ransomware there. Upon installation, regular users lose access to their devices, data, and the larger network until payment is made.

[Jesse_S]

Through VPN, your computer and organization are connected through a secure and encrypted tunnel. Remote access does not create a private tunnel. VPNs, however, are more costly than remote access tools like Logmein, R-HUB remote support server, and TeamViewer.

Thanks to all.
