How do I install VPN (Virtual Private Network) on a Mac?

Summary

VPN should be used when accessing information (such as Banner, Argos, and AdmitGold) from off campus. VPN will make your computer act as though it is on the Bethel network, protecting information you are accessing from the outside. This article gives instructions on installing VPN for Mac computers using Firefox. For instructions on using VPN, refer to KB1107.
