VPN access
Remote network entry
VPN access is the ability to connect to a virtual private network—a secure, encrypted connection that routes internet traffic through a remote server.
Organizations grant VPN access to employees so they can reach internal systems from outside the office: I need VPN access to check my work email from home.
The term often appears in IT contexts involving permissions and credentials.
