Connecting to Virtual Private Networks
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to the resources inside a secured
local network. VPNs are commonly deployed by corporations, schools, and other
institutions to let people access local network resources when not on campus, or when
connected to a wireless network.
Depending on the type of VPN you are using, you may be required to enter your login
credentials or install security certicates before you can connect to your VPN. You can get
this information from your network administrator.
