What Is Visitor-Based Networking (VBN)?

Welcome to the world of visitor-based networking (VBN). It is where you can get connected right away! We're all about our visitors and want to ensure they have the best experience possible. That's why we offer Visitor-based networking (VBN) services! VPNs are commonly used in universities, offices, conference rooms, convention centers, airports and hotels. Generally, visitor-based networks consist of software, such as a browser; hardware, such as hubs, switches, routers, and servers; Internet access; and service, such as telephone support. VPNs require minimal mobile device user configuration and provide billing, application integration, and credit card interfacing services. The connection between Internet routers and subscribers is typically either DSL or cable. DSL and cable modems are often auto-sensing, so you can use them for VBN and Internet connectivity. If subscribers want to use a VBN connection, they must first log in to the VBN gateway and "program" it to recognize their connection type. Once programmed, the VBN gateway will recognize the subscriber's connection's speed and adjust it accordingly. VPNs are for people who want to get their network on. You might use a VBN if you're a freelancer and you need to connect multiple devices or internet access in a hotel room but want to avoid paying through the nose for it. More complex" means that it's more complicated to set up, but it's easy to use once it's up and running. A VBN uses a captive portal for billing and authentication, ensuring secure network accessibility by authorized users only. All VPNs use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and proxy Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) for Internet Protocol (IP) address authentication, which eliminates manual IP address configuration requirements. A VPN uses tunneling and encryption to secure your data and then passes it through the internet via an encrypted channel, hence the "virtual" private network.
