1 GlobalProtect VPN VPN stands for "Virtual Private Network" which, in Carleton's context, allows you to access resources from off-campus, and provides secure, encrypted network access. The ability of VPNs to provide a more secure network communication on public networks means they can be good solutions for those who need to get work done from an airport or coffee shop with an open wifi connection.
