VPN Tunnel

A VPN Tunnel represents a secure communication channel established between two endpoints, usually over a public or untrusted network, such as the internet. In Nautobot, a VPN Tunnel is effectively defined by its two terminating endpoints, and is uniquely identified by its name. When creating a VPN Tunnel, users must also specify its type (encapsulation method), its status, and optionally the VPN it's associated with.
