Secured and Controlled Network Traffic with Load Balancing using IP-Tables

Abstract

There are two IP addresses for a typical home network: one for local devices to connect to across the local area network (LAN), another for the external or wide area network (WAN) Internet connection. A virtual private network (VPN) is a method for the extension of a private network across a public network, such as the Internet. It enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network, and thus are benefiting from the functionality, security and management policies of the private network. The aim of this method of course is to balance the traffic so as to avoid the congestion.

Keywords: Load balancing, IP network, VPN, NAT.
