1. VPN is a method of creating a smaller sub network on top of an existing bigger network while VLAN is a subcategory of VPN.

2. A VLAN is used to group computers that are not usually within same geography into the same broadcast domain while VPN is most commonly related to remote access to a company's network.

VLAN = Vlan stands for virtual are network. Its logical group of end devices. Broadcast happens between same vlan only, if you want to communicate between different vlans, we can use inter vlan routing

VPN = it stands for virtual private network. A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network
