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 certificates before you can connect to your VPN. You can get
this information from your network administrator.
