VPN Refers to Virtual Private Network
that works on a public structure network and can be connected
from anywhere in the world in order to gain access to resources
on that network as local users (with secure passwords for data encryption).
Normally, VPN is used in large organizations that have many branches
and want to connect them together while only provide their services
for people within the organizations including customers, suppliers and so on.
Mahidol University has the policy to use VPN for supporting
the universitys operations in every aspect including teaching,
researching, management and services. VPN service will allow personnel
and students to gain access to the main campus network (MUC-Net)
from their home or elsewhere to use services such as e-Journal,
IP-TV, MUFIS, MUSIS, MUERP, etc.
(The speed of VPN will be varied depending on the Internet Service Provider (ISP)
at that point you are using.)
