VPN (Virtual Private Network)
What is VPN (Virtual Private Network)?
An encrypted tunnel that lets you connect to a network as if you were physically plugged into it — safely from anywhere, even on public Wi-Fi. Your traffic is encrypted between your device and the VPN server, so nobody on the same network can snoop on it.
Why VPN (Virtual Private Network) Matters
Useful for staff working remotely or on public Wi-Fi. But if your files live in Microsoft 365, you may not need one at all — we'll tell you honestly rather than selling you something you don't need.
