A. Fermilab Site VPN (Virtual Private Networks) provides several advantages for users. It provides an encrypted tunnel into the lab so that traffic across the internet can not be easily sniffed. It provides your home system with a local Fermilab address (131.225.x.x) and node name, so that you can access services or systems that are restricted to Fermilab only servers. VPN tunnel bypasses some of the site/services border router blocks, including blocks for NetBIOS, web servers, rpc, and remote printing.
