''"For å ivareta sikkerhet, samt å ha kontroll over nettverkstrafikken som går over UiBs trådløse nettverk har IT-avdelingen valgt å satse på VPN-tjenester basert på PPTP. Med en VPN-oppkobling kan man også utenfor UiBs nettverk få tilgang til IT-tjenester ved UiB uten at disse trenger å vere vevbasert. Eget hjemmeområde, avdelingens fellesområde og utskriftstjenester er blant det man kan få tilgang til via VPN. VPN-oppkobling mot UiB kan brukes fra maskiner koblet til Internett f.eks. fra studentby-nett, via ADSL hjemme, via trådløsnettet på campus eller på reise."''
