Understanding Tunnel Interface

A tunnel interface is a virtual interface that encapsulates and routes data packets between two endpoints over a secure connection, typically using protocols like IPsec or SSL VPN. It establishes a secure communication channel over an untrusted network, allowing secure transmission of data between two networks or devices. This helps in ensuring confidentiality, integrity, and authenticity of the data being transmitted.
