VPN is an acronym for ‘Virtual Private Network’. A VPN is a means of extending a private network (BCIT’s on campus network) across a public network (the internet, using various internet service providers) to the user’s local private network (ie: a network at home, coffee shop, or anywhere with free wifi). Using a VPN allows for authentication and better security of computers accessing resources on the private network.
