    No, no its not.

    Its an intranet with a secure portal system in and out if it.

    In fact, a primary purpose of a VPN, spoofing your IP/geolocation, pretending you are someone you aren’t… is pretty much antithetical to a highly controlled system of users with varying levels of access to specific, private areas of that system.

    Maybe try and read up at least the basics of the words I am using before you say more really silly things.

      The primary purpose of a VPN is to create a tunnel between two networks, hence the name “virtual private network”. I’m very familiar with them as I work with these systems for a living.

        I’m guessing some people don’t know (or forgot) that site-to-site and remote access VPN’s are a thing, and was the initial purpose of VPN’s. Masking or hiding your location became a benefit after the fact, and todays more common client VPN is technically a remote access VPN with a new purpose.

        Also, we removed the above comment because the last sentence was fairly rude and violates rule 3 @sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com
