# Virtual Private Networks (VPN)

Virtual Private Networking (VPN) access enables users to manage all servers remotely and securely over the IBM Cloud® private network. A VPN connection from your location to the private network allows out-of-band management and server rescue through an encrypted VPN tunnel. VPN tunnels can be initiated to any IBM Cloud data center or PoP allowing you geographic redundancy.
