VPN

Definition

VPN, Virtual Private Network, refers to a server and client software allowing computers to connect securely over the internet to a server on a private or institutional network, such as MITnet, making it appear to the computer that it is directly connected to this network.

A VPN is a secure "tunnel" between two or more devices. VPNs are used to protect private web traffic from snooping, interference, and censorship.

The IP address pools on the Remote Access VPN are:

18.30.x.n
