A truly encrypted Virtual Private Network over Accelerated Private Network at selected locations, retaining both the security of full encryption and the convenience, reliability and performance of the APN (Accelerated Private Network). The devices participating in the hybrid VPN/APN can be configured to be selective about which traffic is fully encrypted, often choosing to encrypt based on the destination of the data, such as the main office database or accounting server. Other less sensitive data can then be delivered at optimal speed between office locations, or through the main office to the Internet, still without the realistic possibility of interception outside of the APN locations
