The purpose of the Virtual Private Network (VPN) is to provide a secure connection to the Marist network while connecting with a traditional phoneline Internet Service [example: MSN|, or while using a high-speed Internet Service Provider [example: cable modem or DSL], or to connect to the Marist wireless network while on campus.
VPN does not enhance connection performance or provide additional functionality. VPN will not bypass most limitations in place by Internet Service Providers (ISP) such as bandwidth control. Those who connect to the Internet via providers like BestWeb or Verizon could use VPN when they need a secure connection to the Marist Network.
