IPsec
In computing, Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a secure network protocol suite that authenticates and encrypts packets of data to provide secure encrypted communication between two computers over an Internet Protocol network. It is used in virtual private networks (VPNs).
Multiprotocol Label Switching
network routing scheme based on labels identifying paths
OpenVPN
OpenVPN is a virtual private network (VPN) system that implements techniques to create secure point-to-point or site-to-site connections in routed or bridged configurations and remote access facilities. It implements both client and server applications.
Point-to-point protocol over Ethernet
computer network protocol
tunneling protocol
computer protocol that allows a network user to access or provide a network service that the underlying network does not support or provide directly
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
computer network protocol
WireGuard
WireGuard is a communication protocol and free and open-source software that implements encrypted virtual private networks (VPNs). It aims to be lighter and better performing than IPsec and OpenVPN, two common tunneling protocols. The WireGuard protocol passes traffic over UDP.

Generic Routing Encapsulation
tunneling protocol developed by Cisco Systems that can encapsulate a wide variety of network layer protocols inside virtual point-to-point links over an Internet Protocol network
Teredo tunneling
transition technology that gives full IPv6 connectivity for IPv6-capable hosts that are on the IPv4 Internet but have no native connection to an IPv6 network

stunnel
Stunnel is an open-source multi-platform application used to provide a universal TLS/SSL tunneling service.

6in4
6in4, sometimes referred to as SIT, is an IPv6 transition mechanism for migrating from Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) to IPv6. It is a tunneling protocol that encapsulates IPv6 packets on specially configured IPv4 links according to the specifications of . The IP protocol number for 6in4 is 41, per IANA reservation.
