Summary

VPN (Virtual Private Network) is used when accessing information from off campus. For resources that require on-campus network connection (such as Argos, Banner, and Q Drive), 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 on Windows 10 using Firefox.
