Connecting to Virtual Private Networks

Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow you to connect to resources
inside a secured local network, from outside that network. VPNs
are commonly deployed by corporations, schools, and other
institutions so that their users can access local network resources
when not on campus, or when connected to a wireless network.
There are numerous systems for securing VPN connections,
including some that rely on secure certificates or other methods to
ensure that only authorized users can connect. For information
about installing secure certificates, see
