In order to improve the security of accessing mainframe data, a VPN is required to access data from 星空无限传媒appP from off-campus.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that provides remote users secure access to their organization's network. The goal of a VPN is to provide the remote user with the same capabilities as the local user, using existing technology and infrastructure.
