A VPN is a virtual private network that enables access to the Faculty internal network from an internet connection.
VPNs use security technologies that ensure authentication, confidentiality and integrity in communications.
FA provides a VPN solution to its users.
VPN access establishes a secure connection between your home computer and the Faculty server. Authenticated users can access internal Faculty resources and specific external services as if they were on the internal Faculty network, including bibliographic research services such as b-on. It can also be used to access office computers when authorized.
