What is a VPN?
VPN stands for virtual private network, and it provides the ability to establish a secure network connection even when you’re using unsafe public Wi-Fi. A VPN will encrypt your online traffic and keep your virtual location hidden.
Most businesses who provide computers and phones to their staff will generally have a VPN setup on them to protect their data. Please make sure you turn your VPN back on after you have finished what you need to do.
