Networking) is the method you can use to access the Case network without being physically
connected to a Case network faceplace. VPN opens a tunnel between your ISP (internet service
provider) and the Case network so that your activities take place as if you are on the Case
network. For more information about VPN, including how to download the software and how to install
it, go to the
VPN section of Connecting to the Network
