What is LBL VPN?
LBL-VPN is a software-based VPN service. Employees wishing to use LBL-VPN must install VPN client software on their computer (s). The software is available, free of charge, from https://software.lbl.gov .
How does a VPN work?
VPNs work by establishing secure "tunnels" for the transfer of information. Because the data which passes through such tunnels is encrypted, it is protected from unauthorized access. Additionally, the VPN tunnel end-points (aka peers) authenticate with each other to prevent identity spoofing, and verify all received data to ensure that it has not been altered during transmission.
