<p>Hi Dennis,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Thanks for your question!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We started using Mozilla VPN this year, which allows for up to five devices—enough to cover our whole staff—and is paid annually. The first year cost us $30 using a promotional code.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Here’s the link for more details: <a href="https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/vpn/" target="_new">
Mozilla VPN</a>.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>The service is browser-agnostic, so it doesn’t require using Firefox. Previously, we relied on free VPNs available in the Chrome Web Store and similar platforms. However, we found those to be slow, unreliable, and they raised some security concerns.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>So far, Mozilla VPN has worked very well for our needs.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Best regards,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are looking for a solution to mimic being off-campus to test our electronic resources. I currently do this by using a VPN that I pay for myself, which is not ideal. How do other folks do this? Do you use a VPN? If so, is there a specific
VPN vendor you’d recommend?<o:p></o:p></p>
