Assume a web browser at a client host (212.13.14.16) wants to send a message to a web server (156.10.10.2) but a firewall at the client's gateway (212.13.14.1) is configured to block all outgoing packets to 156.10.10.2. The client does have access to a VPN application (similar to the one used in the labs) and can use it to connect to a VPN server (130.16.10.2). Describe how the client should set up a tunnel to bypass the firewall so that the web browser can send a message to the web server (156.10.10.2). You must trace the pathway of the message originating at the web browser on the client host and headed to the VPN server explaining how it traverses through different layers (application, transport, network etc.) in the client host and finally reaches the VPN server application. You must also trace the relevant hops (i.e., the IP addresses) the packet navigates through along the way. You need not trace the reply message and you also don't need to focus on the encryption details. Note: The notion of tunnel in Virtual Private Networks is used conceptually to explain that the traffic inside it is hidden. However, that is just a bigger picture. In reality, the virtual tunnel is implemented over an actual network pathway. The focus of the question is not how the tunnel works but rather the actual path of the VPN messages
