AbstractInternet of Things (IoT) devices use different types of media and protocols to communicate to Internet, but security is compromised since the devices are not using encryption, authentication and integrity. Virtual Private Network of Things (VPNoT) is a new technology designed to create end to end encrypted tunnels for IoT devices, in this case, the VPNoT device is based on OpenVPN that provides confidentiality and integrity, also based on Raspberry Pi as the hardware and Linux as the operating system, both provide connectivity using different types of media to access Internet and network management. IoT devices and sensors can be connected to the VPNoT device so an encrypted tunnel is created to an IoT Server. VPNoT device uses a profile generated by the server, then all devices form a virtual private network (VPN). VPNoT device can act like a router when necessary and this environment works for IPv6 and IPv4 with a great advantage that OpenVPN traverses NAT permitting private IoT servers be accessible to the VPN. The annual cost of the improvement is about \$455 USD per year for 10 VPNoT devices.
