                 Some other types of Network are:
                  ÐVirtual Private Network (VPN): A VPN creates a secure connection over the internet between the user and a remote
                 Ð
                   server. It encrypts the user’s internet traffic and masks their IP address, providing privacy and security.

                 Ð ÐWireless Local Area Network (WLAN): A WLAN is a wireless version of a Local Area Network (LAN) that connects
                   devices within a limited geographical area, like a home, school, or office. It uses wireless communication protocols,
                   primarily Wi-Fi.

                 Ð ÐEnterprise Private Network (EPN): An EPN is a private network owned by an organisation that interconnects its
                   various sites, such as offices, branches, and data centers. It is designed for secure and efficient communication
                   between different locations.

                 Ð ÐCampus Area Network (CAN): A CAN connects multiple LANs within a specific campus area, such as a university or
                   business complex. It is larger than a LAN but smaller than a metropolitan area network (MAN).
