What is the difference between VPN and VNC?
VPN stands for Virtual Private Network, and it’s a means of securely connecting individual users at remote locations (at home, or while traveling) with resources on campus over public communication lines that might otherwise not be secure. VNC, or Virtual Network Computing, allows you to connect to and control an computer from a remote connection. For example, you could use VNC from your home computer to remotely control a desktop computer on campus.
