VPN

VPN, or Virtual Private Network, is a secure tunnel on the Internet that connects a computer to the university’s network. After starting the VPN, the network traffic from the computer, whether at home, in a café, at a conference, or at an airport, is first directed through an encrypted tunnel to the University of Warsaw (UW), and then to the Internet.
