What is VPN?
Virtual private network can help with breaks in the internet connection. By installing the extension from the site https://www.vpnside.com/proxy/, you can go to any sites from anywhere in the world without a time delay. This is very important for those who work with the Internet around the world and for entertainment like watching a movie or an online game as well.
A VPN gives users a secure link to access corporate network over the Internet or other public or private networks without the expense of lease lines. A secure VPN is a combination of tunneling, encryption, authentication, access control and auditing technologies/services used to transport traffic over the Internet or any insecure network that uses the TCP/IP protocol suite for communication.
The Virtual Private Network allows you access to programs and services exclusive to users on the Brown on-campus network. When installed on your personal computer, a VPN connection gives you a Brown IP (Internet Protocol) address at a remote location for a period of up to 8 hours. Among the main features of VPN, you can: • Use campus-limited web resources, including “keyed” software such as Dreamweaver, Adobe Photoshop, FlashMX, and others. Please check the CIS downloads page for a full listing ( http://software.brown.edu/dist/). • Use personal email clients of choice other than Webmail to receive and send mail.
