[NFBCS] Accessible VPN Software

[Jim Barbour]

I would be very careful expecting a VPN solution to secure your computer. That’s not really what they’re built for.

VPNs are good for managing access to particular networks, such as an employer; managing where you look like you’re coming from on the Internet, for example  if you wanna watch British TV,  or if you want to hide your web browsing habits from your ISP.

Hope this helps,

Jim
