Both HTTPS and VPN are widely used in todays systems Clearly

Both HTTPS and VPN are widely used in today’s systems. Clearly they serve quite different purposes. In terms of how they are implemented, what do they have in common? How do they differ? Why would you choose one over the other for specific types of applications? Cite two examples, one in which HTTPS is the better choice and one in which VPN is the better choice.

Solution

Https is used to communicate between client/server and VPNs are about linking two sub-networks together.

The difference in simple terms :HTTPS will only encrypt traffic between browser and the website where request is been sent whereas VPN will encrypt all traffic between your computer and the Internet.
