BYOS vs. VPNs

The difference between BYOS and VPN services.

BYOS is about Protection, Control, and Access. VPNs are just about access.
VPN doesn't protect the endpoint, just the traffic.
VPN doesn't protect the inbound traffic, only outbound.
The VPN can encrypt the outbound traffic successfully, but it will still be fooled by network attacks.
VPN depends on (and is controlled by the OS).
The OS can still communicate from outside the VPN.
The endpoint leaks traffic until the VPN is established.
Access control within VPNs is light at best.
VPNs require key & config management/exchange with the end-user, BYOS doesn't.
VPNs are heavily dependent on the remote VPN Terminator, BYOS provides decentralized protection.
