A VPN, or Virtual Private Network, allows you to create a secure connection to another network over the Internet – in this case, your workplace for accessing local network resources remotely.
When you connect your computer (or another device, such as a smartphone or tablet) to a VPN, the computer acts as if it’s on the same local network as the VPN. All your network traffic is sent over a secure connection to the VPN. Because your computer behaves as if it’s on the network, this allows you to securely access local network resources even when you’re on the other side of the world.
If you require VPN access, please contact HR. Your request, if approved, will be forwarded to IT Support to setup VPN access permissions.
