A VPN is about extending a private network across a public one by tunneling and encrypting the traffic so you can access the private network securely from anywhere. The description that captures this best is: It uses public networks to connect to a private network. A network built entirely with private copper lines describes a dedicated private network, not a VPN, so that isn’t the right fit. A local area network is a confined, on-site network, and a wireless personal area network covers very short-range links like Bluetooth—neither describes the remote, secured access concept of a VPN.
