Virtual Private Network (VPN) and a Virtual LAN (VLAN) are two unrelated
terms.
VPN deals with security and connecting nodes in a private network across a
public IP internetwork. Read RFC 1853 - IP Tunneling.
You can take one physical LAN and split it into multiple virtual LANs, or
you can take multiple physical LANs and integrate them into a VLAN. RFC
0824 is good reading.
