IPsec VPN Overview

Available in Classic and VPC.

IPsec VPN is a service that helps encrypted tunneling communication between networks of an external customer and NAVER Cloud Platform. Once a VPN environment is established, the permissioned network provides secure, 24/7 access to the internal corporate network, providing connectivity similar to that of a private network.

You can get your questions answered quickly by referring to the answers in the FAQ before reading the guide. If you haven't found the answer to your question in the FAQ below, then search the guide for what you would like to know.

Q. What is IPsec VPN?
A. VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, which refers to a method of connecting a PC or network to a private network that can't be accessed from outside. The connection is made through a virtual tunnel and IPsec VPN protects this virtual tunnel by encrypting with Internet Protocol Security (IPSec).

Q. What is Guaranteed Bandwidth?
A. This is an option to guarantee bandwidth for traffic when creating an IPsec VPN Gateway. Depending on the network size, you can select one of 10 Mbps, 20 Mbps, and 30 Mbps. The bandwidth guarantee is bi-directional, so if you select 10 Mbps, for example, you are guaranteed 10 Mbps each of inbound and outbound traffic.

Q. What is Peer IP address?
A. This is the public IP address of the IPsec VPN Gateway of the customer's network on the outside. This is a required element when creating an IPsec VPN Tunnel for encrypted tunneling communication.
