VPN is "Virtual Private Network." It allows you to connect to a remote computer with utter security. For instance, my company's mail server is behind a firewall. I cannot access it from home...... unless I have VPN up and running. usually, you have to know the 'gateway' (the computer at where ever that you must connect to, in order to get access to what's behind it), your user name and password. RSA makes these neat keychains (called "SecurID") that are used in extremely high security settings.... it's straight out of a movie; your password is a number that is displayed on the keychain, and the number changes every minute! Sometimes you even need a PIN that you always stick onto the displayed number at the beginning or end, or that you multiply into the displayed number, or other really absurd things like that.
