1. A system comprising:
a hybrid cloud network configured to include public access and private access;
one or more personal cloud virtual LANs provided at an overlapping segment of the hybrid cloud network to provide privacy within the hybrid cloud network;
a home area network including a single purpose computer configured as a router gateway for the hybrid cloud network and configured to establish a site-to-site secure connection with the one or more personal cloud virtual LANs;
the one or more personal cloud virtual LANs include a plurality of Virtual Private Network (VPN) endpoints located in different locations connected to different networks;
at least two of the plurality of VPN endpoints are joined to operate as a single network via at least one of an Ethernet connection and a Virtual Ethernet (VEC) bridge;
the hybrid cloud network is configured to provide connectivity for a plurality of the personal cloud virtual LANs to establish a distributed network such that traffic within the distributed network is encrypted and encapsulated from other networks; and
a management server, installed on at least one of the hybrid cloud network and the one or more personal cloud virtual LANs, is configured to provide managed services by administering a plurality of services to one or more users in communication with the distributed network.
